Like Sharlene, I found that one Jalapeno simply disappeared into the mix without a trace. My next try will incorporate some dried cayenne. I left the toasts in the oven until they were golden and crisp, but after sitting for two hours waiting for the guests to arrive, they had softened slightly due to the moisture in the mixture. This was a plus. All in all, this recipe is a winner. Thanks, Cookiedog.

These will surely impress your guests. The mint and lime juice really makes the topping "pop" with flavor. The colors are beautiful and I served them on my black platter making a very nice presentation. I too, toasted the bread just until a very light color as did a previous reviewer. I highly recommend this great little canape. Thanks for sharing this winner, Cookiedog.

Really loved this blend of flavors!! The mint made it so refreshing. Also took this marinade and used it with grilled chicken on french bread. Thank you!!

I loved the flavor. I would probably double it next time as the small quantity of "spread" ingredients didn't puree very well in my 11-cup food processor. I also would only broil the baguette slices until they were lightly browned--if they are crisp, they are more difficult to eat because the crunchiness causes the toppings to fall off if you eat it in more than one bite. I would also all a bit of red pepper flakes as the jalapeno pepper wasn't enough to get much heat. Overall, very good flavor pretty to look at.
