Take some French or Italian bread slice it med. thick and with a cookie cutter cut out some rounds from the center of the bread. Place the bread on a cookie sheet and paint with melted butter and olive oil combination add a little minced garlic bring up to heat but do not burn. Toast the bread in the oven.





Remove from oven and let cool, slice enough Roma tomatoes to go around remove seeds and most of the juice.. Slice some drained and dried baby buffalo mozzarella cheese and stack the tomato slices sprinkle with sea salt, dried oregano and cheese on the toasted bread. Top with fresh basil if you can find it or Italian parsley leaves that you washed well and torn by hand. Sprinkle with cracked black pepper drizzle with a few drops of olive oil. Wrap tight with plastic wrap or aluminum foil.





Best wishes,

here's a fun item that will impress everyone. It is time consuming, but believe me...worth the effort and an apppitizer they will remember for years:





Buy drumettes (the drumstick part of a chicken wing). With a small, sharp knife, cut away the small bottom end and knuckle and push the meat up to the other end as high as you can. the end result is that you will basically have a narrow clean bone and a ball of meat on the other end. I marinate in Tandori Masala and BBQ, but you can use whatever marinade you prefer. Once cooked, they hold their shape, everyone picks them up by the bone and starts nibbling away.





Terrific party appitizer!

Lemon grass and Prawn Skewers: http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/18859/le鈥?/a> You could use chicken in place of the prawn (shrimp)

Mini Prawn cocktails: http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/3364/min鈥?/a> Super easy!





Mediterranean platter: http://www.taste.com.au/recipes/18501/me鈥?/a> any sort of 'platter' of meze or antipasto type things would be good - just put platters on the middle of the tables, and let people help them selves.

You could try tortilla roll ups. You can make them the night before, they are easy, and you can serve with salsa on the side. They're great for munchies, pot lucks and parties. I've linked the recipe below. Good luck!
