Angie’s Easy Holiday Appetizer Ideas

grocery-list-239x3001.jpg
While Chris and I love to entertain year round, the holiday season is our absolute favorite time to invite friends and family over for a spontaneous glass of wine. I try to keep a specific list of ingredients on hand all month so that I can easily toss together a plate of snacks for our guests. Last minute guests? No worries here!
 
Eckert's Grocery List
 
Easy  Recipes
  • Spread a block of cream cheese in a 8×8 or 9×9 pan, top with a jar of Eckert’s Corn Salsa, top with shredded cheddar. Bake 20 minutes and 350 and serve with chips or crackers.
  • Spread goat cheese or cream cheese on a flour tortilla. Top with dried fruit and chopped nuts and drizzle with honey. Roll up and cut into wheels.

  • Assemble pickled veggies, cheese and sausage chunks on frill picks. Stick frill picks in half an eggplant or arrange in a spiral pattern on a platter.
  • Slice Eckert’s French Bread into 1/2 slices. Brush both sides with olive oil or melted butter. Toast in a 350 degree oven for 8 minutes, flipping bread once. Cool bread. Spread with ricotta cheese then sprinkle with blue cheese, parmesan or feta. Finally top with bacon crumbles. Serve immediately.
  • Stuff mushrooms with boursin cheese and top with fresh grated Parmesan. Bake for 8-10 minutes in a 350 degree oven.
  • Scoop pie into a mini jar or bowl. Top with home-made whip cream and a sprinkle of cinnamon sugar.
 
  • Spread crackers with cream cheese and a dollop of Eckert’s red pepper or jalapeno jelly.
  • Combine diced apples, blue cheese, chopped almonds and a drizzle of olive oil. Fill mini phyllo cups.
  • Spread ricotta cheese on toasted Irish Soda Bread. Then spread fig preserves, top with prosciutto and sliced pear.
