    We're supposed to bring an appetizer type of a dish tomorrow (for snacking on before dinner while drinking wine).  I know there will be tons of cheese and crackers already (too bad, I like easy), so I'm trying to think of other ideas.  Anyone have any favorite recipes?

    I'm making proscuitto and fontina cheese pinwheels--basically sliced proscuitto and grated fontina cheese rolled up in puff pastry sheets, sliced, and then baked for 20 minutes. Very yummy!

    Baked Spinach & Artichoke Dip is easy to make and usually a big hit.

    Here's my favorite recipe:

    @Amani: This one is SO good. It's hot out of the oven and then you can toast up baguette slices in olive oil to serve the dip on... DIVINE!

    Ideas I gave another person.

    Skewers on tooth picks:
    mozzarella cheese chunk, basil leaf, 1/2 cherry tomato or
    artichoke heart, olive, marinated mushroom or
    roasted red pepper, smoked gouda cube, marinated mushroom, etc

    Or 1/2 some cherry tomatoes and use light whipped cream cheese- stir in some pesto and then using a sandwich bag with the corner clipped (like a pastry bag) squirt some filling on the tomato

    Proscitto wrapped asparagus- served hot or cold if cold steam asparagus first)

    Using a muffin tin bake wonton wrappers to make cups and then fill with anything you want (greek salad sans lettuce, chicken salad made with greek yogurt)

    polenta rounds pan fried (in a nonstick) to make crispy and then top with some sherry sauteed mushrooms and shaved Parmesan

    Zuchinni rollatinis- bake slices of eggplant and rollup with a slice of prosciutto and a bit of laughing cow cheese mixed with cooked spinach. Serve hot and spear with a toothpick to keep together

    ceviche (is actually really easy to make)

    Phyllo triangles (you can stuff with anything- but try some pureed chickpeas, yogurt, lemon zest, salt, oregano, goat cheese, spinach). Just use dont soak the phyllos sheets in the traditional butter.

    We're doing spinach dip with crackers & crudites, pepperoncini quiche bites, and cheese & crackers.  I'm hosting for the first time ever and didn't want to bite off more than I could chew so we're going pretty simple!

     

    If I had more time, I would basically plow my way through this fabulous list: http://www.seriouseats.com/2010/11/thanksgiving-recipe-inspiration-hors-doeuvres-appetizers-what-to-serve-at-thanksgiving.html

    What about a veggie tray and/or a shrimp platter? Those are two things that go over really well at our house.
