Party season is here! The busiest time of the year is also the best time of the year for equipment to break, staff to walk out, and customers to demand more than ever before. Make your life easier and take the guess work out of menu planning with delicious and fool-proof hors d'oeuvres that go straight from freezer to oven. Here are six of our best-selling appetizers that are chef-tested and guest-approved.
1. Buffalo Chicken Taco
It sounds crazy, but hear me out. If you could put spicy buffalo chicken and creamy blue cheese in a crisp flour tortilla cup, you totally would, wouldn’t you? These addictive little morsels sound exciting on a party menu and will always disappear from your party platter first.
2. Chicken Provençal with Fig and Tomato
Don’t mess with the classics. The old-world flavors of sweet figs, roasted tomatoes, and chicken marinated in herbs and white wine make this combination a no-brainer for elegant holiday parties.
3. Manhattan Mini Ruben
Nobody can resist a ruben, especially when you wrap up all that cheesy corned beef goodness in a rich puff pastry shell. Tart sauerkraut and a hint of cumin keep the flavors balanced and bright.
4. Korean BBQ Spring Roll
What’s the secret to an addictive spring roll? Aside from a crispy spring roll wrapper (check), tender beef short ribs (double check), and crunchy pickled carrots (triple check)? Two magic words: barbecue sauce!
5. Sicilian Caponata
Vegetarians, rejoice! There’s more to a meat-free diet than bruschetta! In this twist on a classic caponata, marinated eggplant and sweet peppers are lightly grilled and mixed with feta cheese, pine nuts, and capers. Then, because the world is a wonderful place, the whole shebang gets wrapped in puff pastry and finished with balsamic vinegar.
6. Carribean Coconut Shrimp
Big, meaty shrimp get dipped in a mild coconut batter, then rolled in coconut-laced bread crumbs. The tender shrimp contrasted with the crispy coconut breading make this appetizer a slam dunk for any holiday event.
Don’t break the bank (or your brain) during the madness of the holidays.
