I'm also a fan of devilled eggs. You can make them swanky with fish roe, caviar, smoked salmon.

Basque pintxos always look so pretty on a platter. I like to make them with baguette, sliced hard boiled egg, a bit of roasted red pepper, and an anchovy on top. If your crowd won't like anchovy, you can always substitute some chorizo, prosciutto, or salami.
