Best appetizer?

Question

Whats the best appetizer you ever have made?

Answer 1

chicken fajita pinwheels (everyone loves when I make them)
or mini beef wellingtons.

Answer 2

Heroin Wings

4 lb chicken wings
1/2 cup butter
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
2 tbsp dried parsley
1 tbsp dried oregano
2 tsp paprika
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp freshly-ground black pepper

First, preheat the oven to 350°F. Cut the wings up into "drummettes". (Freeze the pointy "tips" for soup -- they make great broth!) Then combine the grated cheese and the seasonings. Line a shallow baking pan with foil. (Do not omit this step, or you'll still be scrubbing the pan come New Year's Day!) Melt the butter in a shallow bowl or pan.

Dip each "drummette" in butter, roll in the seasoned cheese, and arrange in the foil lined pan. Bake for 1 hour at 350°F. Kick yourself that you didn't make a double recipe!!

Answer 3

Every time I have made this dip everyone seems to love it.

Roasted Red Pepper Dip

1 container (8 oz.) Sour Cream

1 jar (7 oz.) roasted red peppers, drained

4 oz. (1/2 of 8-oz. pkg.) Cream Cheese, softened

1 clove garlic, peeled

1 Tbsp. fresh basil leaves

1/2 tsp. dried oregano leaves


Place all ingredients except crackers in food processor or blender container; cover. Process until red peppers are finely chopped and mixture is well blended.

Pour into serving bowl; cover.

Refrigerate at least 1 hour.

Answer 4

Brie en Croute

2 sheets puff pastry, rolled to secure edges and create a large rectangle
1 large wheel brie
1 jar caramel ice cream topping
1 cup chopped pecans
Butchers' Twine

Place brie in center of puff pastry. Spoon caramel sauce on top and sprinkle with pecans. Pull sides of puff pastry up over the top and fold to make a "bundle". Tie off with twine and cut edges to make decorative "leaves". Brush with 1 egg mixed with water and bake at 350 degrees until pastry is puffed and golden. Let cool briefly before placing (carefully!!!) on serving dish. I usually place several colorful blooms, such as tulips or gerberra daisy's and greens, on the plate to add some sophistication. Serve with sliced baguette and a variety of crackers.

Answer 5

Shrimp Salsa or Corned Beef, Green Onion and Cream Cheese Dip. Both are very easy to make and both are completely gone within 5 minutes of a party!

Answer 6

Mississippi Sin

Ham cubes
Sour cream
cream cheese
cheddar cheese
green chiles
French or Italian loaf

Mix ingredients together. Cut top off of loaf, scoop out bread (set aside), pour mixture into bread loaf. Place top back on loaf, wrap in foil. Cook for 45 min to 1 hour. Serve with reserved bread that was scooped out.

Answer 10

Ya know, its kinda crazy simple, but I oven roast a bunch of sliced veggies - squash, eggplant, asparagus, sweet peppers, tomatoes, etc...all drizzled with chopped garlic and olive oil, and then I make a big platter of it, with some sliced, toasted Italian bread...everyone devours it, every single time!!!
I also make a killer liver pate!!!

Answer 11

I made a hummus with parsley oil floated on top, in a bread bowl. (epicurious.com) My relatives, even though they knew I've cooked professionally for over 8 years) asked me where I had it catered from!
