These are such easy appetizers and will disappear quickly when you set them out. When I made these, I did not use a whole slice of ham for the cups as they were too large, so I cut the slices in half and fit them into the cups. It is a nice alternative to using a pastry cup and they look nice on a serving tray. What I really like most is that you can assemble these the day before in the muffin tin, cover and refrigerate. Bring them out and bake for 15 minutes...serve warm. These are great on a brunch buffet table also.Mini Florentine Cups
