Ramzan Iftari Snacks

I love baking pies, baking pasta dishes, lasange, making home-made quiches etc and these are always a hit at my Aftari parties, as ppl' love to eat new and different things for Aftari.

I love copying the Tesco cheese sandwiches, which I was always obsessed with at uni! Hehe! They are so easy to make. To make the filling for this sandwich:

I grate both yellow and orange cheddar cheeses, add mayonnaise to the cheese, chives, pepper and tiny chopped onions. Scrumptious!

Also here is a snack to try making if you want a change from pokorays!

Cheese and spinach swirls. (This recipe makes around 20.)
