Appetizer ideas?!
Answers: I'm having company this weekend. Any ideas? We're having an appetizer party. I'm making pesto shrimp, but I need add'l ideas. Maybe something with spinach, eggs, cheese...whatever. Thanks!
My fried wonton with cream cheese is always a hit for appetizers. Simple and tasty. All you to do is:
*buy wonton wrappers, cream cheese (block or in the tub)
and sweet chili sauce (found in the Asian aisle)
*put a tsp. of cream cheese in the wonton wrapper, fold ends like a triangle and deep fry them til golden brown.
*serve with chili sauce
you can also add some chopped crab meat with the cream cheese.
goodluck!
