Cheese Kisses

The ideal finger food for receptions and a special accompaniment to pre-dinner cocktails. The word sambousek derives from the root bassa, meaning ‘he kissed’; I chose to translate it into kisses. Many homes and caterers prepare cheese sambousek with ready-made French pastry dough, practical enough and quite tasty, but not quite the real thing, especially if you are serving it with an assortment of mezze.
