Today I was in a mood to eat appetizer i.e., Cheese Poppy for lunch. I remember, when I was a kid we used to live in a neighborhood surrounded by a flock of close friends and relatives. They usually used to drop by unannounced on weekends, which was good in terms of catching up with them. Although, it wasn’t good for my mom because she had to be innovative when deciding what to serve them for snacks. And that’s how she came up with the recipe for Cheese Poppy.

And now here goes the recipe.

Salt to taste

*Heat the pan on a medium flame and put some olive oil.
