   In France there is a tradition that revolves around beggars purses.  This appetizer is named after the beggars purses because they look like little purses.  Another Portland Firefly Recipe.

                              Beggars Purses 

For 8, you will need : 

8     cheeses (I like the baby goudas) or chunks 

8    squares of filo dough or wonton wrappers 

      mustard 

8    12″ pieces of  non-plastic ribbon or string 

Put the unwrapped cheese on the dough.  Put a dollop of mustard on top of the cheese.  Bring the corners up together and tie with your ribbon.   Bake in 325 degree oven for  10 -18 minutes (watching so they don’t burn).     These charming appetizers can be made ahead an hour or two if needed.  Every time I serve them, they are a hit with both men and women.
