Sweet olive oil tortas?

August 26, 2012 6:06 PM

I bought a package of sweet olive oil tortas. Now what?

Yes. I'm the kind of sucker who buys things with no earthly idea what to do with them. What's the best way to serve these?

If you're like me, you'll scarf the whole package down. No need for fancy serving suggestions. If you want to serve to guests, put on a plate.

Serve them as is, as hors-d'oeuvre, appetizers, or desserts. They work well for all three, and I've never felt the need to add anything to them.

I bet I know the brand, too. I prefer their orange ones. For those, I put a good soft cheese (we use a local Quark) and a really good salami on top of them. I bet it would work with the plain ones too.

I love those and I eat them plain. Maybe with some hot tea.

Queso fresco maybe?

A soft gorgonzola cheese spread on top, with dollops of fig or apricot jam.

They are excellent by themselves, either before or after dinner, but they will go stale unless kept tightly sealed or consumed within a couple days of opening. That has rarely been a problem in our house, but now you've got fair warning.

Brie! Or camembert.
