I need a good appetizer recipe that s easy?

Here's one of my favorites:





Pistachio Encrusted Chicken Breast Stuffed with Maine Lobster Champagne Beurr茅 Blanc Sauce





3 uncooked Maine lobster tails, 4 鈥?5 ounces each


3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, 6 鈥?8 ounces each


Sea salt and freshly ground pepper


2 Tablespoons lemon juice


3/4 cup ground pistachios


3 Tablespoons clarified butter





Blanch the Maine lobster tails in boiling water for 3 鈥?5 minutes. Remove the meat from the shell and refrigerate.





Trim the fat and remove the rib meat from the chicken breasts. Place each breast between 2 pieces of waxed paper and flatten so they form what appears to be a ';butterfly'; wing. Place a lobster tail along the center of each chicken breast. Season with sea salt, freshly ground pepper and lemon juice. Roll the chicken breast up, enclosing the lobster tail inside. Roll each chicken breast in the ground pistachios and place in a greased baking dish.





Drizzle the stuffed chicken breasts with clarified butter and bake in a preheated 375-degree oven for 6 minutes with the seam side down. Remove the pan from the oven, turn the stuffed breasts over, and continue baking until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. The chicken breast should be white in color and cooked completely thru. Remove the pan from the oven and let the chicken breasts rest for 5 minutes.





Slice each stuffed chicken breast into 5 - 6 medallions on the bias. Place medallions on plates or a serving platter and drizzle with Champagne Beurre Blanc sauce 鈥?recipe follows. Serves 3 people very generously, or 6 people as part of a large, festive meal.





Ingredient note: Clarified butter, also known as drawn butter, is unsalted butter that can withstand high temperatures without burning. To prepare clarified butter, place 1 stick (1/4 pound) unsalted butter in a small heavy saucepan and melt over low heat. Remove from heat and let rest 5 minutes. With a spoon, carefully remove the foamy white butterfat that has risen to the top and discard. Spoon the next layer of clear golden liquid into a bowl. This is the clarified butter. Discard any remaining solids that remain in the saucepan. Yield should be just about 3 tablespoons.








Champagne Beurre Blanc Sauce:


4 ounces Champagne


1 ounce Champagne vinegar


2 Tablespoons shallots, finely minced


2 ounces heavy cream


8 ounces refrigerated butter, cut into 1 tablespoon-sized chunks


Sea salt and freshly ground pepper to taste





In a small saucepan on top of the stove, combine the champagne, champagne vinegar and shallots. Bring them mixture to a boil and reduce by half. Add the cream and slowly bring the mixture to a boil. Gradually whisk in the butter, 1 tablespoon at a time until the sauce is smooth and the butter is incorporated. Season to taste with sea salt and freshly ground pepper.





Beurre Blanc literally translated means ';white butter';. This classic French sauce is composed of wine, vinegar, and a shallot reduction into which chunks of cold butter are whisked until the sauce is smooth and thick.

I have one for you, you are sure to like. (If you like cream cheese). Take cream cheese that has been left to sit at room temp., add one to two tablespoons of Worschtishier sauce, and mix well. Chill for about 10-15 minutes and serve with chips or crackers. It is great tasting, and very easy to make !!I need a good appetizer recipe that s easy?

Blend mustard and mayo together, spread tortillas with layer of cream cheese and mustard mixture (spread to edges of tortilla). Cover with salami, cheese and parsley. Roll tortilla as tightly as possible without squeezing filling. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 1 hr.

Broiled Lemon and Garlic Tiger Prawns





INGREDIENTS:


1 1/2 pounds tiger prawns, peeled and deveined


1 cup butter


1 teaspoon minced garlic


1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice


3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese





DIRECTIONS:


Preheat oven on broiler setting. With a sharp knife, remove tails from prawns, and butterfly them from the underside. Arrange prawns on broiler pan.





In a small saucepan, melt butter with garlic and lemon juice. Pour 1/4 cup butter mixture in a small bowl, and brush onto prawns.





Sprinkle Parmesan cheese over shrimp.





Place broiler pan on top rack, and broil prawns for 4 to 5 minutes, or until done. Serve with remaining butter mixture for dipping.











Bacon Wrapped Barbeque Shrimp





16 large shrimp, peeled and deveined


8 slices bacon


barbeque seasoning, to taste





DIRECTIONS:


Preheat oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).





Wrap shrimp with 1/2 slice of bacon, securing with a toothpick. Be sure and use the large shrimp--the cooking time for the shrimp and the bacon is similar. If you use medium-sized shrimp, you might want to precook the bacon a little--over cooked shrimp are tough and rubbery--and a real shame.





Line a jelly roll pan with extra heavy duty foil, and place baking rack in pan. Place the shrimp on the rack, and sprinkle heavily with the barbecue seasoning, turn and sprinkle second side. Let the shrimp sit for 15 minutes. The bacon will turn from creamy white to a little opaque, and the seasonings will soak in.





Cook the bacon for 10 to 15 minutes. The rack keeps the shrimp from sitting in the draining bacon fat. With a little luck, you won't tear the foil -- you can throw that away and only have to scrub the rack.








Summertime Sweet Pickles





INGREDIENTS:


1 cup apple cider vinegar


1/8 cup salt


1 cup white sugar


1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric


1/2 teaspoon mustard seed


2 pounds cucumbers


2 sweet onions





DIRECTIONS:


In a small saucepan at medium-high heat, combine cider vinegar, salt, sugar, tumeric and mustard seed. Bring to a boil and let cook for 5 more minutes.





Meanwhile, slice cucumbers and onion. Loosely pack the vegetables in a 1-quart canning jar or other similarly sized container.





Pour hot liquid over the vegetables in the container. Refrigerate for 24 hours and enjoy! Keep refrigerated.








Cream Cheese Won Tons





INGREDIENTS:


2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened


1 (6.5 ounce) can minced clams


2 green onions, chopped


2 (8 ounce) cans water chestnuts, drained


1 teaspoon paprika


1 teaspoon ground black pepper


1 (14 ounce) package small won ton wrappers


3 cups vegetable oil for frying





DIRECTIONS:


In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, clams, green onions, water chestnuts, paprika and ground black pepper.





Place about 1 teaspoon of filling into the won ton skin and seal corner to corner forming a triangle.





In a large skillet, heat oil to a high temperature. Fry the won tons until they are browned on both sides. Drain on paper towels and serve hot.








Cheese Straws





INGREDIENTS:


1/2 cup butter, softened


4 cups shredded Cheddar cheese


2 cups all-purpose flour


1 teaspoon salt


1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper (optional)





DIRECTIONS:


Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a cookie sheet.





In a large bowl cream butter and cheese. Stir in flour and salt; mix well. On a lightly floured surface, roll the dough out to 1/2 inch in thickness. Cut into 2 inch strips and sprinkle with ground red pepper. Place strips on prepared cookie sheet(s) 1 1/2 inches apart.





Bake in preheated oven for 10 to 15 minutes, or until crisp.
Get some puffed pastry and thaw as directed on package. Cut the pastry into thirds lengthwise - it's usually folded this way so follow the folds on your cuts. Take asparagus and swiss cheese and place them along one edge of the pastry the long way and roll it up. Crimp the edge and then cut into 1/2 inch pieces. Place flat on a baking sheet at least an inch apart. Bake at 400 for about 15-20 minutes or till golden. These are fabulous and people will think you slaved away.

can you find 'pimientos del padron' where you live? These are small green peppers (they're not hot), typical of an area of Spain - in London you can find in a few shops. Deep fry them using a wok and serve them with salt crystals. Yum!!!


or otherwise.... a nice salad with pear and blue cheese could be an easy one. Or tiny kebabs made with cherry tomatoes and mozzarella bocconcini (small mozzarella bites) or - why not? - prawns.


Another easy one is ... bruschetta - toasted bread (thinly sliced) with either mushroom pate' or with tomato, salt and olive oil...

Appetizer Recipe Needed Using Toast?

I found this recipe for Bruchetta Toasts. You take white bread, cut off crusts, flatten with a rolling pin and then cut into four pieces. You spread butter on these pieces and form into mini-muffin pans to make little toast cups. So I made the toast cups last night and they turned out great.





Then I found out that more than half of the guests coming do not even like Brushetta. So what can I put in these little toasts instead?Appetizer Recipe Needed Using Toast?
Cheese and and herbs like basil and rosemary.

Yakitori Barbecue Chicken


Source: Top Barbecue Chef Stephen Raichlen


For speed and convenience, use boneless breasts, my first choice here. Serve with Grilled Rice Cakes, Spicy Japanese Bean Sprout Salad, or Sesame Spinach.





Special Equipment 16 short bamboo skewers, soaked for 1 hour in cold water to cover and drained, or more as needed.





2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts or thighs


2 pounds slender young leeks (8 or 9 in all, see Notes)


1/2 cup of soy sauce


1/2 cup sake


1/2 cup mirin (sweet rice wine) or cream sherry


3 tablespoons sugar


3 slices fresh ginger (each 1/2 inch thick)


3 cloves garlic, smashed


3 scallions, both white and green parts, trimmed and coarsely chopped





Rinse the chicken breasts or thighs under cold running water, then drain and blot dry with paper towels. Cut crosswise into pieces 2 inches long and 1/2 inch wide and thick. Set aside while you prepare the leeks.





Cut off and discard the green parts of the leeks. Cut the white parts that remain in half lengthways as far as the roots. Rinse the leeks carefully under cold running water, then drain, cut of the roots, and cut each leek half crosswise into 2-inch pieces.





Thread the chicken pieces crosswise on the skewers, alternating with pieces of leek; you should be able to get 4 pieces of chicken on each skewer. Arrange the skewers on a platter and cover loosely with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until ready to grill, up to 6 hours.





Preheat the grill to high,





Prepare the yakitori sauce. Combine the soy sauce, saki. Mirin, sugar, ginger, garlic and scallions in a small heavy saucepan and bring to the boil over a medium heat, stirring until blended and the sugar is dissolved. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, uncovered, until the sauce is glossy and syrupy and reduced to 3/4 cup, about 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and strain into a bowl (see Notes).





When ready to cook, oil the grill grate. Arrange the skewers on the hot grate and grill, turning with tongs, until the chicken is nicely browned and cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes per side (6 to 10 minutes in all). Brush the yakitori generously with the sauce at least once on each side while cooking, but not during the last 3 minutes.





Transfer the skewers to serving plates or a platter and serve immediately.





Serves 4 to 6
Velveeta and Sausage dip


1 Pound Velveeta


1 Pound Sausage, cooked and drained


1 can Rotel tomatoes





Put all this in a crock pot and cook til melted. Keep the crock pot on low; you can graze all day! Serve with tortilla chips.





Sausage and cream cheese dip


1 Pound sausage, cooked and drained


2 blocks of cream cheese


1 can rotel tomatoes


shredded cheddar cheese


Put the cream cheese in a baking dish, top with sausage and tomatoes. Cook at 350 for about 15 minutes, stir. Keep doing this for about an hour, stirring every fifteen minutes. Last fifteen minutes, top with shredded cheddar. YUM!
I know it's not very Christmasy but every time i make it and tke it to a party people love it and its super quick and easy.

Sausage Rolls





INGREDIENTS





* 1 (16 ounce) package pork sausagemeat


* 1 (17.25 ounce) package frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed


* 1/4 cup Dijon mustard


* 1 beaten egg





DIRECTIONS





1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).


2. Unfold the puff pastry sheets, and cut along the fold lines of each sheet to form 6 equal squares for a total of 12 squares. Brush each square with mustard. Divide sausage into 12 pieces, and roll into small logs. Place one log on each square. Roll dough around the sausage, and seal with a bit of beaten egg. Place rolls onto an ungreased baking sheet, and brush the tops with the rest of the egg.


3. Bake for 20 minutes in the preheated oven, or until the rolls are puffed and golden. I usually watch after 10 minutes or so to make sure they don't burn. These freeze (unbaked) very well.
I took this to my mom's house last Christmas and my relatives went wild for it.





Cheese Logs





1 鈥?8 ounce package cream cheese 鈥?softened


1 jar cheddar cheese spread 鈥?softened


2 teaspoons red wine vinegar


陆 teaspoon garlic salt


1 cup finely chopped pecans





Mix 1st 4 ingredients thoroughly, roll in chopped pecans. Wrap in waxed paper and chill until serving.
A more holiday version of the salsa and cream cheese is, a block of cream cheese with a cranberry jalapeno compote poured over it instead of salsa.





2 oranges diced


1 tsp orange zest


1 jalapeno seeded and diced


1 cup sugar


1 bag of cranberries


1/2 tablespoon chopped mint





Combine all ingredients and simmer for 10 minutes.





I also make sausage rolls all the time and people love them, but I use regualr bulk sage sausage and add grated clove of garlic, grated half of an onion, 1/2 cup bread cumbs, 1 egg, chopped parsley and wrap in puff pastry and bake.
