| I'm hosting a cocktail party that will be heavy apps rather than a seated dinner, but it needs to replace dinner and fill people up. What are some good options for this? |
|
Stuffed mushrooms
Meat on a stick (chicken skewers, steak bites with a bit of horseradish sauce for dipping, etc) Shrimp cocktail and/or coconut shrimp Large charcuterie plate Mini meatballs Mini quiche |
|
+1 to all the above
Anything on bread. Bruschetta, goat cheese toasts, flat bread. Guac, bean dip, hummus |
|
Agree with a large cheese board
Sliders (bbq, chicken parm, meatball) Mini tacos (the kind from Costco or Trader Joe’s that are crispy) Pigs in a blanket |
| Anything in the frozen meal starters section of any store, from Costco to Wegmans to Trader Joe’s. Anything heavy in starch and fat. |
|
Prime rib sandwiches small roll
Also small roll with goat cheese, roasted red pepper, arugula Tortellini on skewers Baked Brie |
|
Deviled eggs
Meatballs Anything fried and skewered |
| Apps made with puff pastry. The butter is very filling. |
+1 the mini caramelized onion and feta pastries came to mind, if they’re still around. They’re rich and delicious. |
From Trader Joe’s I mean! |
Agree with this. Mushroom puffs made with puff pastry and heavy cream are tasty and very filling! |
|
Samosas
Mini Cuban sandwiches (on potato rolls) Mini crabcakes |
|
Ham biscuits
Buffalo chicken dip Pigs in a blanket Sliced filet with horseradish cream |
| Bacon wrapped scallops. Always a hit, and filling. |
| Deviled eggs!!!!! |
