Looking for finger food ideas?!
Looking for finger food ideas?
I am hoping to find some great ideas for a party we are hosting. Looking for the unique. Not veggie platters and such. What are your favorites?
Thanks in advance!
Answers:
jalapeno wraps.
take the jalapenos and slice in half, remove the seeds, place on baking pan. place inside cream cheese, garlic herb is quite good. wrap with bacon and bake at 350 for about 45 minutes.
jalopenas can burn and irrate the eyes. so when removing the seeds wear gloves.
This is a big hit at our parties. Good Luck.

I have not tried to make it yet but I cannot wait. I saw it on TV show. Ingredients:
Shrimp
Bacon
Pineapple pieces
spices (salt, pepper, other spices to taste)
You take cooked shrimp and you put a piece of pineapple right next to it, then u take a strip of bacon and you wrap the bacon around the shrimp (with pineapple) and then you makea bunch of these and put it in a hot skillet. Swtich sides after a few miuntes. After shrimp turns pink and bacon looks cooked it's ready. Then put toothpicks and serve!
the flavors are sweet and savory and I think they should blend together well!
Unique? have you thought of cold shrimp platters. Ritz and cheese, pepperoni and cheese blocks. Etc. Even bread w/cheese spreads or crackers and jellies.. anything is uniqu if you make it that way-
Spring rolls.
Sushi is great.
Jalapeno poppers (battered jalapenos with cheese inside). Nachos.
Shrimp on skewers (easier to eat without getting fingers too dirty).
Fondue (chocolate with fresh fruit??)
if you want to go all out try cesear salad on a spoon, mini quiches, roasted red peppers on crackers, shrimp cocktails...and like another suggested try either foodnetwork.com or epicurious.com.
love these!!!!
thin sliced ham, spread cream cheese on a slice, place pickle sliver in center, roll and put tooth pick or something to hold it together. uuummmmmm, uummmmmm good!
spincah-artichoke dip with small slices of french bread for dipping
SLICED BREAK PLACE A HOT DOG NOT COOK AND WRAPPED AROUND WITH BACON BUT IT IN THE OVEN UNTIL BACON IS DONE. VERY GOOD
This recipe was my grandmothers and is a hit with guests. I don't know what you call them but I call it Bacon Roll Ups.
Loaf of white bread, preferably Wonder
8 oz. Temp-tee cream cheese or any other spreadable kind
1 package bacon
Cut just the ends (crusts) off of the slices of bread. Spread a thin layer of cream cheese on each slice. Then cut the bread in 3's. Take 1 slice of bacon and put it under the bread (the side with no cream cheese). Make sure the bacon is on the outside. Roll it up till the end and insert a toothpick to hold it together. Place on cookie sheet and bake in pre heated 350 degrees oven for about 20 minutes or until browned and the bacon is cooked.
Buffalo Wings with dippin sauce. Honey Bar Be Que, Ranch, Firey Hot Sauce
Do you have a theme for your party at all?
I LOVE doing my food with a theme in mind??? Just something to think about.
Whats the special occassion?
well...tiny egg salad sandwices...(like little buns or crustless sandwich bread) are a big HIT where I am from. My mom makes the best egg salad!
salmon, egg mayonnaise, dips like hummus
potatoe skins
onion rings
cheese sticks
mini quesedillas
Tortilla wraps
Mix one 8 oz. package cream cheese with 1/2 cup shredded cheddar, two tbsp. chopped jalapenos, and 1 tsp. taco seasoning. Spread on soft tortilla shells. Roll up and chill. Just before serving, slice and serve with salsa. Always a big hit. you can adjust the ingredients in the cream cheese to your preference. You can make the change drastic, such as canned boneless, skinless salmon mixed with horseradish. Chill and slice and serve with cocktail sauce. You see the ideas can be endless.
Easy stuffed mushrooms
One package of cream cheese (8 oz.) mixed with 1/2 cup minced or finely chopped onion and 2 tbsp. of grated Parmesan cheese. Mix and spoon into mushroom caps, stems removed. Place top down on a baking dish and bake until tops just start to brown. I am always asked for this recipe after I take them to a get together. You can make them up to a day ahead except for the baking. Just refrigerate and pull them out when you are ready to pop them in the oven.
