The original of this recipe made enough to feed an army. It is reduced here to make just enough for a small gathering of family and very good friends. Small slices are wonderful for appetizers, and large slices make a good main course for lunch, when served with a green salad. You may want to choose a square or rectangular tart pan for a different presentation. source unknown
