Addictive Jalapeno Popper Bites

Mon, 28 Sep 2009 12:30:52 -0400

I've always loved those bacon wrapped jalapenos that people make at BBQ's but I could never eat them without either burning my mouth from the molten cream cheese filling or squirting it out all over myself. Not to mention how difficult it is to try and figure out how to roast a whole jalapeno on the BBQ without the filling leaking out. So, I came up with this variation and it has been the first thing gone at every party since!! -- posted by MPetty679

These little babies lend themselves to all kinds of creative cooking possibilities for snacks, appetizers, or lunch-time fare.

Thanks to Karen Solomon's *Jam It, Pickle It, Cure It* (c2009) for the original recipe. COOKING TIME listed is for chilling prior to rolling out. -- posted by Debber

Ultimate Cheese Dip

Tue, 29 Sep 2009 11:43:54 -0400

My friend Cheryl gave me this recipe - the saying is around our town if Cheryl makes it, it's got to be good. She first made it for a superbowl party. My team wasn't playing, I was just there for the food:) .... and boy was it worth it! And to top it off it's SUPER easy, but tastes like you labored. If you don't like watching sports on TV, my suggestion is to make this, set it out for the guys mezmerized by your tv, and hit the mall. Chances are you'll be back before they even know you are gone. This recipe is simple, make it once, then next time, change it up, add different cheeses, or whatever strikes your fancy. But made as written..............yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm -- posted by velvet_sj

I got this recipe from my mom. I first tried it at her Christmas dinner a few years back. It is a great treat for parties. Lots of people ask for the recipe and it is eaten up so fast, it's good to make two. My family asks me to make it sometimes just for the heck of it. -- posted by CrazyRedHead

Mon, 05 Oct 2009 17:21:30 -0400

These are the most popular appetizers I make! Friends ask for them again and again. These are best when baked right before serving, but they do taste great even as they begin to cool. This appetizer recipe also freezes beautifully before baking. Just bake them, while they are still frozen, for about another 10 minutes until golden brown. -- posted by Love to Cook; Hate to Clean

Roast Eggplant With Walnuts

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 11:53:41 -0400

This wonderful appetizer, when served with warm pita, marinated strips of red pepper & tasty olives, can be a meal unto itself... or tucked into a pita with the aforementioned for lunch, a very nice lunch. Per the Times: "This Turkish recipe is from Paula Wolfert's upcoming book, "The Slow Mediterranean Kitchen," which will be published in October by Wiley. Wolfert notes that the slower the grilling, the smokier the flavor of the eggplant. She thanks Dr. Ayse Baysal for sharing the recipe." Note: When large eggplants are roasted whole, you may notice black juices seeping out of the skin. If this happens, immediately slit the eggplant on one side and drain on a slanted board in the sink. -- posted by Buster's friend

Cheddar Whiskey Fondue

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 14:18:42 -0400

Rosemary Cheese With Fig Preserves

Tue, 13 Oct 2009 14:48:53 -0400

Quick Easy Appetizer. Ok, there are literally millions of recipes for cheese balls, molds, etc, but this is just a little different. I like to make a "mini" version of the original recipe which I think doesn't intimidate guests from taking that first slice. But trust me, this doesn't last long. I like to serve this with thin baguette slices lightly toasted, bagel chips or your favorite crackers. Give it a try, I think you and your guests will really enjoy it. -- posted by SarasotaCook

Ham and Cheese Strudels Appetizer ( Paula Deen)

Thu, 15 Oct 2009 16:21:01 -0400

This is a recipe that I found in Paula Deen's special magazine publication May/June 2009. It is the party issue. This recipe was inhaled by guests and family at our house. It is definitely time consuming so plan on it taking more time than you think but it is worth it. It is definitely a keeper flavor wise as the caramelized onions bring out the ham and cheeses. The honey mustard mayo is a great undercurrent. Great for parties and gatherings like baby showers, showers, brunches, etc. Enjoy! ChefDLH -- posted by ChefDLH

Mushroom Garlic Cream Tarts

Mon, 19 Oct 2009 14:20:21 -0400

This is a recipe from Pillsbury.com. l always have to double the recipe because they get eaten up so fast. People can't believe it only take 15 minutes to throw these little gems together. If you end up doubling the recipe, I suggest using just 3 Tbsp butter and 3/4 cup cream. Otherwise the filling can get a little runny. This is a very easy recipe to change according to your tastes. Substitute olives for mushrooms, use chives, chopped nuts, even artichoke hearts, whatever you like. I also generally use margarine, light cream and low fat crescent rolls and they're still delicious. You can't go wrong with this recipe. Enjoy!! -- posted by quiet603

Fried Halloumi Cheese Salad

Tue, 20 Oct 2009 13:08:51 -0400

Found this in an obscure magazine and have made it several times for dinner party appetizers, and it was raved about by all. Simple, quick and delicious! Halloumi cheese is a semi-firm white cheese that is native to Cyprus and can be purchased at most supermarkets. It doesn't melt but browns up nicely. The oil and lemon dressing is simple but complements the cheese perfectly. Spring mix greens should contain some frisse and arugula to be perfect, but almost any will do. -- posted by Dug

Braised Leek Salad

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 12:45:36 -0400

Created by Chef Aaron Bashy for "Chef on a Shoestring." The CBS Saturday Early Show challenge was to create a gourmet 3 course meal for 4 people for less than $20. I love leeks, but often find them overpowered in dishes where they aren't the main attraction. This recipe really showcases the leeks in all their subtle glory by caramelizing them and then adding just a few ingredients to complement the leek itself. In fact, the recipe features 3 of my favorite ingredients: leeks, feta cheese and Kalamata olives. Can't go wrong with that combination. To prepare leeks, trim off the tough dark green bits and the roots. Cut in half lengthwise then swish in a bowl of clean water to remove the sand and sediment that gets trapped between the rings of the leek. The wine is optional, but recommended. -- posted by Eat Your Vegetables!

Smoke Salmon Rounds

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 14:44:49 -0400

I found this recipe when I was looking for a low calorie and low fat appetizer. The cucumber is meant to replace the cracker, but you could use them. You can use flavoured cream cheese instead of plain. It's simple to make and always a hit. I hope you enjoy it! -- posted by Honeyofachef

Croque Monsieur Puffs

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 17:24:10 -0400

My latest crush is this new incarnation of gourgeres, or cheese puffs. These were inspired by the classic French ham-and-cheese sandwich, Croque Monsieur. If you're serving only one thing with cocktails before dinner, it would have to be these heavenly puffs. They're perfect for "popping" in between sips of a Pear Thyme Fizz or Peach 75. -- posted by College Girl

This is quick and easy, and a make ahead wonder appetizer. Simple store bought crackers - now I like "Cinnamon Wheat Thins," but there are many other brands. Last time I went to the store, there were 4 different brands, and Whole Foods and other specialty stores carry even more. A creamy cream cheese and nut date filling and topped with sweet grilled pineapple. I often serve these little bites on a dessert tray. -- posted by SarasotaCook
