The Hors D'oevres Thread

Let's see:
->Fried cheese sticks (especially mozzarella)
->Fried ravioli
->Chicken strips
->Li'l Smokies (especially the kind with cheese inside)
->I once made up a marinated cold-cuts and cheese tray that the crowd went nuts over--I had to fight for a piece of my own work!
->Darn near anything that doesn't have seafood in it on the Olive Garden's appetizer menu...:eek:

I'm a big fan of a yearly treat that a family friend makes every year--she calls it Shepherd's Dip. She makes it with cream cheese, chipped beef...I don't know what else, but it's YUMMY and you serve it in a bread bowl. Sigh.

Also a big fan of cheese and cracker plates.

CHEESE.

Here's one I make that's a hit at parties

Baked Sausage Stuffed Mushrooms:
minced garlic cloves

spicy pork sausage
bread crumbs
Parmesan cheese

Salt and pepper

I usually make double and eat half before I get to the party :D

*yucky* Blech! Never again for me! This was the last thing I ate before realizing I was pregnant. I'll never forget the smell and it's a shame because I USED to really love them! The whole house smelled of mushrooms and I had to leave and buy a box of cheezits, lol!

Ah-ha! There 'tis. Thanks for the recipe--I ask for it every year, and she never hands it over...lol

For some reason, this reminds me of Chicken Ala King my Mom used to make where she cut a hole on top of each roll and stuffed the ingredients in. They were absolutely delicious! Thanks SF :)

My stock hors d'oevres are artichoke dip (artichoke, mozzarella, garlic, parmesan, mayo), spinach dip (on the back of a Knorr's package), salami spread with cream cheese and rolled up, and chopped shrimp mixed with cocktail sauce, poured over a a block of cream cheese, served with cracker, and one I got from my mother, a Gouda wheel, smashed with Miracle Whip and dry mustard, and I think other things but I can't remember. She would save the wax covering of the Gouda and put the dip back in, but I just put it in a bowl.

I guess I just got used to seeing them at family functions. A friend makes them with bacon bits in the yolk mixture and they are great. :D

Our crowd always has deviled eggs! I make mine with wasabi mayonnaise, it rocks.

I also adore Beluga caviar (the real deal) and steak Tartare! Give me protein!

Nothin' like table-side Steak Tartar at Sardi's.

OH MAN!
Raw meat you say! count me in. it's very easy for me to over indulge on steak tartare.
Ever have raw venison? Like carpacio, sliced thin, drizzled with olive oil, sprinkled with locatelli, barrel salt and black pepper.

There's this little Italian joint in Beverly Hills, on La Cienega, that has the BEST carpacio I've ever had: shaved hyper thin filet, a very light lemon/garlic dressing, small sheets of Pecorino Romano and baby greens. Mmmm, it's good!
