You are planning your big event and it is time to select what appetizers you want to serve. There are so many to choose from... how do you ever decide? Do you go for healthy or ethnic? What about those quick appetizers you know are not good for anyone's health but they taste so good?
When you are choosing your appetizers, of course the first consideration is your budget. You may have caviar tastes and a hot dog budget. Luckily, there are so many appetizer recipes out there to choose from that you should be able to find several that will please you and your guests. Label each dish so any guests that have food allergies know which ones to avoid and which ones to enjoy.
There are so many types of appetizers. You can focus on a type of ingredient such as poultry, seafood, or cheese as a theme. For poultry, you could find recipes for small chicken quesadillas, chicken dumplings, or small kabobs. Seafood may inspire you to make bacon wrapped scallops or shrimp, crab cakes or seafood dumplings. Perhaps you want to provide several different types of finger sandwiches.
If you are looking for meatless appetizers, perhaps you would prefer asparagus rollups, filo dough filled with feta cheese and olives or a quick mushroom quiche. If you do not want to use animal products at all, try vegetable dumplings, potato puffs, and vegetable spring rolls. They are delicious!
Puff pastry is one of the great conveniences available in your freezer section at the market. Use them to make beef and mushroom turnovers, tiny beef Wellingtons, or cheese straws. You can even use it to enclose a wheel of Brie topped with delicious caramelized onions. Use it with little smoky sausages to create tiny hot dogs, forming the bun out of the pastry. Alternatively, you can form little pastry cups and fill them with seasoned chicken, sundried tomatoes or any other filling your heart desires.
If you want to wow your guests with your imagination, fill up tiny dishes with a scoop of spaghetti topped with a lone meatball. They will be amazed. If you like the cutting edge, try encrusting a chicken tender with pecans and serving it on a skewer with a sweet mustard sauce. Sliders are an extremely popular appetizer. These tiny burgers are topped with all your favorite burger fixings.
All these appetizer ideas should give you some great recipes. You can also use a single cuisine to create a party theme such as Mexican or Asian appetizers. A table full of empanadas, mini tacos and salsa with chips gives your guests plenty to eat. Likewise, you can set up a table of spring rolls, potstickers, samosas, and satay to satisfy your guests. For a unique Asian appetizer, try wrapping up a crispy water chestnut in apple smoked bacon. Yum!
In the end, it does not matter what appetizers you choose. Your guests will love whatever you make. Try to make most of them ahead of time so all you need to worry about before the party is reheating. You will be able to enjoy your guests and your party.
