Belgian Endive
cream cheese
crushed pineapple
pimiento for color
Beat together the drained crushed pineapple and cream cheese. Stir in diced pimiento. Fill the Belgian Endive leaves with the filling. It will look very pretty on the plate and taste great! Every easy to make.
Another you can make is to take your bread, cut with a biscuit cutter to make a round, top with egg salad mix and place a sliver of Lox (the soft smoked salmon) on top of the egg salad mix. I had it at my great-aunt's 50th wedding anniversary and they were a hit! Salmon does something with the egg salad mix that's to die for!! Cover with a damp paper towel and cover that with foil to keep moist and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Well, this isn't really a finger food, but it's a GREAT dip!
It sounds like a weird combination, but it's sooooo good!
2lbs. breakfast sausage (browned)
3lbs. cream cheese
1 packet of taco seasoning
1 can rotel tomatoes
Mix all together in the crock pot until combined...serve with tortilla chips...I get rave reviews when I make this and it's always GONE!
