Cheese 'n' Stars

Cheese N Stars

Forget cheese and crackers. A slice of starfruit now becomes the cracker when you top starfruit slices with small chunks of rich-flavored cheese, such as a smoked cheese, bleu cheese or a small dollop of garlic-herb cheese spread. This is a great appetizer for your kids to make. They can enjoy a deliciously fun fruit.

Ingredients:

4 Florida starfruit
8 oz. (your choice) smoked cheese, bleu cheese, or garlic-herb cheese spread
Mint leaves (chocolate mint leaves shown)

Directions:

Slice starfruit crosswise into slices just under 1/2" thick.
Slice cheese into 1"x1"x1/4" slices.
Place starfruit on serving platter, putting a mint leaf on each square of cheese.

Makes: 2 dozen pieces.

Prep time: 10 minutes
