Appetizers recipes

These cheesy muffins are perfect with a warm bowl of soup. They can be made as normal size muffins or as mini muffins for an appetizer or crouton.

These cute mini tarts are made with sweet cocktail or cherry tomatoes, zucchini, ricotta and mozzarella cheeses, drizzled with garlic-infused extra-virgin olive oil. The most simple ingredients create these stunning mini tarts.

This version of the garlicky roasted eggplant dip does not have tahini in it as with a traditional version. While I really like an "authentic" baba ghanoush, I also enjoy the commercial Sabra brand, which uses mayo and some spices. It is slightly sweet and has a little kick. This is my rendition.

This Baklava recipe is classic Greek baklava. It can be sweet as a dessert, or savory as an appetizer. Phyllo pastry gives a crispy texture, using both golden delicious and Granny Smith apples makes the filling sweet, slightly sour, and very tasty. The Walnut layer adds another nuttiness, crunchiness, and richness. A delicious and light dessert that you can serve on any occasion.

Stuffed with two kinds of cheese these make spectacular dinner roll.

Stomach warming goodness, this is my version of my Mom's classic recipe.

An easy to make, simple recipe. Sweet and delicious.

Spot this recipe on New York Time, and it sounds great. So I did a few changes, here my version of this light spinach quiche is.

An easy way to create a tasteful appetizer, similar to the way it is done in Scandinavia or Northern Germany. Preferably you want to use wild caught salmon when it is available or catch-it yourself. The usual caveats when you deal with fresh fish apply. Process it immediately. I had good experience with wild Alaska sockeye salmon which is frozen for a while before it comes into the shop.

Your kids don't eat enough veggies. Or they just hate brocoli. Or maybe they love broccoli either way you will want to make this salad. Everyone will love it. Great for BBQ, picnics, potlucks and just everyday side dish or lunch.

This appetizer is quick and easy to make. Beautiful.

Rich and packed with flavor but without the unhealthy fats. Slightly sweet carmelized onions and sundried tomatos topped with cheese on crispy toast (crostini).

Fresh soybeans (edamame) dip on crackers topped with a roasted cherry tomato. Perfect light tasting finger food when company is coming.
