This is very good, and even better the next day. The flavor is kind of reminiscent of French meat pie. I like to prepare a bag of shredded hash browns with some chopped onion, salt and pepper and layer that beneath and on top of the meat. It gives a nice fluffy potato taste without being like mashed potatoes, and I run it under the broiler last thing to crisp up the top. Good stuff!

Very good. The only changes I made was to use fresh rosemary, and chicken thighs. I served with couscous and spinach aglio e olio.

This is delicious, beautiful, and easy. I suggest using half the pesto though, because the full 8 oz. would be overpowering, I think. Follow the rest of the directions exactly and the end results are phenomenal and just a beautiful presentation. I used a 1 qt. faberware bowl and got a lovely dome with a small diameter, which sat very nicely within a ring of crackers. I did use a food processor to chop the sun dried tomatoes. A pie spatula with a serrated edge makes a great serving tool for this. One of my guests was so overwhelmed by this appetizer, she didn't want to eat any dinner! and everyone else loved it too. I wouldn' t halve it like others have suggested because you're going to want the leftovers.
