My husband's mother is from Belgium and he's been doing some genealogical research. I, meanwhile, have been researching Belgian food and trying to figure out what his mom may have served when he was a little kid. This one would make a great appetizer! I did have to use Havarti cheese instead of Passendale cheese. I found some available in Staten Island, if you happen to be in the neighborhood!
