Garnish with the cilantro leaves and serve immediately so the toast stays crisp.

    I loved this recipe! I'm very surprised someone found it bland, I agree with the other reviewers that it was very flavorful. One of my favorites for serving canapés at parties...

    This is a delicious and light dish for brunch or a quick, weekday dinner. It's healthy and easy to make.

    Is it possible the nutritional information is not accurate? 440 calories for one piece seems way too high?
