What types of good recipes/foods are theyre for appetizers for new years eve..I NEED IDEAS...thankss?

Answer 1

For appetizers, a nice crudite' platter with dip is always nice, and a cheese and sausage tray with a variety of crackers. Or turn that into an antipasto tray with some olives, roasted red peppers, artichoke hearts, and such. Cold Shrimp cocktail is always a hit! I also love roasted asparagus with prosciutto - just lay cleaned asparagus spears in a single layer on a baking sheet. Toss with a bit of olive oil, kosher salt and pepper, plus some minced garlic if you like. Roast at 450 for about 12 minutes, let cool, and then wrap a thin slice of prosciutto around each stalk - everyone always goes crazy for those! Oh, and I love to do stuffed mushrooms, and an artichoke/spinach dip...here are some recipe ideas for those...

Crab Stuffed Mushrooms (I usually at least double this!)

1 cup crabmeat
1/2 cup cream cheese
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves, chopped
1/2 cup green onions, chopped
4 tablespoons Parmesan
House Seasoning (recipe follows)
2 portobello mushroom caps, or 10 white mushrooms caps
1/2 cup bread crumbs
Nonstick cooking spray

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.

Combine the crabmeat, cream cheese, parsley, green onions and Parmesan. Season with House Seasoning, to taste. Stuff the mushroom caps with the mixture and top with bread crumbs. Spray the tops with nonstick spray to help them brown. Transfer to the oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the filling is hot and melted.

House Seasoning:
1 cup salt
1/4 cup black pepper
1/4 cup garlic powder

Mix ingredients together and store in an airtight container for up to 6 months.

Artichoke Spinach Dip (I serve this with triscuits and/or bread - it's cute to do in a hollowed out bread bowl, too!)

1 cup thawed, chopped frozen spinach
11/2 cups thawed, chopped frozen artichoke hearts
6 ounces cream cheese
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup grated Parmesan
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Boil spinach and artichokes in 1 cup of water until tender and drain. Discard liquid. Heat cream cheese in microwave for 1 minute or until hot and soft. Stir in rest of ingredients and serve hot.

Happy New Year!

Answer 2

Try a baked brie cheese (pronounced bree).

Take a round of brie. Unwrap it but do not remove the rind. Place the cheese in an oven safe dish and top it with sliced almonds or pesto sauce or use you imagination. Bake it at 350 for 25 - 30 minutes. While it is in the oven take a french baguette and slice it about 1/2 inch thick. Lay this on a baking sheet and put it in the oven until the bread starts to brown. When this comes out of the oven use a cheese ball knife and put some on the bread. OOH LA LA!

Answer 3

The MOST popular appetizer at our get-togethers has always been bacon-wrapped water chestnuts. OMG !! Awesome !!

"A sweet glaze coats these crunchy appetizers that get gobbled up at parties as soon as I put them on the plate."

3 (8 ounce) cans whole water chestnuts, drained and halved

Bake 6-8 minutes longer or until hot and bubbly.

Answer 4

Use a package of sandwich sliced ham such as Oscar Meyer. Spread softened cream cheese on a ham slice like you would spread mayo on a sandwich. Place a long green onion across the corner edge of ham and roll up tight. Now slice it across ways every 1/2 inch or so to make bite size pieces. Stick with tooth pic for easy serving. They are very pretty, too.

Answer 6

O.K. here's something sweet... "Baked Cinnamon Twists" In the freezer section, buy a box of puff pastry sheets $4.00 - $5.00. Lay the the sheets out on a lightly floured surface. Let them thaw for approx. 30 min. Preheat oven to 400 deg. Cut the sheets into 1" strips. cut the strips in half to make them shorter. Melt 1 stick of butter in the micro. & mix sugar & cinnamon in another container. Dredge each strip in the butter & then in the sugar. Twist the strips 3X & lay on a cookie sheet. Bake in the oven for 12-15 min. They will be crispy, sweet & yummy. (Makes about 4 doz. not to mention economical!) Enjoy & Happy New Year!!

Answer 7

Well, all I'm making for NYE is appetizers, so this is what's on my menu:

-fried ravioli (dip fresh ravioli into egg, then seasoned breadcrumbs, and fry in a little olive oil until browned and crispy)
-mozzarella sticks
-potato skins (both of these are frozen from a box)
-pigs in blankets (cocktail weiners rolled in crescent roll dough and baked)
-sausage bread (brown bulk italian sausage, crumbling it. When cooled, mix with some shredded mozzarella cheese, some dried basil, and put into cresent roll dough that's been laid flat. Roll up into a loaf. Bake as roll package directs. You can also do it with pizza dough.)
-chicken bites (I'm cutting boneless skinless chicken breast into bite size pieces and breading and frying them. Serve with either honey mustard or BBQ sauce)
-fresh salsa and chips
-crudite' platter
