This is for a super bowl party where everyone tries to one-up each other on the quality of the food they bring. Nothing mediocre or uninspired please!I need AMAZING appetizer recipes.?
Bruchetta
Couple of plum tomatos
5 garlic cloves
1 TBSP Olive Oil
fresh or dry basil to taste
salt
pepper
loaf of italian bread cut into very thin slices
Take the slices of bread, and either grill them or bake them until they get nice and hard. Meanwhile dice the tomatoes, garlic and onions. Toss in a bowl with the olive oil, salt, pepper and basil.
Spoon the mixture over the bread slices and you have a very festive(red), extremely delicious app for your party.
Hint: you may want to wait till you get to the party to spoon the mixture over the bread. While the bread won't get too soggy real fast, it eventually will, but that's the great thing about this app, it travels well. Just throw the grilled bread in a bag and tupperware for the tomato mixture!I need AMAZING appetizer recipes.?
Super easy. Preheat your oven to 375F. Take a pint of softened (room temp is fine) cream cheese (garlic or chive, or any flavor that will go well with pizza) and spread it on the bottom of a 8x8 or 9x9 casserole dish. Pour as much pizza sauce to cover, more or less, depending on your taste. Cover with mozzerella, provolone and parmesan cheeses. Add any pizza toppings that you prefer, mushroom, onion, peppers, pepperoni... Microwave for 3 minutes to get it kick started, then transfer to the oven and bake for 15-30 minutes until softened, melted and heated through. Time depends on microwave, and amount of toppings. Serve with chips of your choice, garlic pita chips work well, bagel chips, tortillas, crackers. It's guaranteed to be a hit!

about 5 beaten eggs

Do not separate the dough. Flatten dough from 1 pk. on bottom of baking pan (rectangle)
Starting with the ham, layer cold cuts, alternating between meats and cheeses, brushing beaten egg on top of each layer.
Top with second pk. of dough and brush top with egg.
Bake on the temperature on Pillsbury package for about 45-55 minutes. It should be dark, golden brown.
If it starts getting too brown, but the middle doesn't seem solid, too runny, cover with aluminum foil for the last 10 minutes or so.
When they cool off, cut into small squares. You can even make this ahead of time or the night before and and just warm them up. They are even good cool.

I know the Super Bowl is over, but a great recipe would be to take flat pita type bread found in rectangle shap, and cut them into strips then, brush with olive oil, and sprinkle with garlic powder, or add the powder to the oil b4 brushin it on, put in the oven on 250 for 2 or 3 minutes, but make to keep an eye on them, so they won't burn. Very tasty treat.similar to that of pizza. You can also add some Oregano to kick it up a notch.
Buy or borrow an electric fondue pot, and make tempura!
