I knew pissaladiere, ma had never prepared it. Then I found this recipe for mini pissaladieres and tried it immediately.
I love finger food. I love to prepare lunches and dinners with many different dishes and serve them all together – and this mini pissaladiere recipe is perfect for these occasions.
They are very easy to prepare and I can assure you there will be no leftovers.
You can even prepare the crust the day before to be even more quick in serving them. I have prepared it more times and it definitely is now among my favorite recipes ;-D. I found this pissaladiere recipe in Saveur site.
