Sliced into big squares, you can serve this pear blue cheese onion focaccia as an appetizer or pair it with a mixed greens salad to turn it into a meal.
Tiny hors d’oeuvres may look adorable and irresistible, but they take a lot of time to make.
Who knew something so small could require so much attention to assemble?
There are lots of parties and get-togethers this time of year where fancy bites are the meal.
When you’re hosting a gathering during the holiday season, more often then not it’s a smorgasbord of snacks.
How great is that!?
Eating nibbles of this and that gives you a taste of everything.
When you’re in charge of the food, it can be overwhelming trying to come up with that many different options for a snack buffet for your guests.
Here are a few timesaving tips for holiday hors d’oeuvres:
I could go on and on about the incredible antipasti at the olive bar!
From the obvious olives to roasted peppers and tomatoes, there are so many good things that your guests can just spoon onto a cracker or a slice of bread.
It can be stressful trying to have food on-hand that satisfies all dietary preferences. Don’t think of a charcuterie board as just meat.
Include cheese, veggies, fresh and dried fruit, nuts, bread and crackers (regular & gluten-free).
Take advantage of store-bought ingredients to create a beautiful spread.
Even though there is nothing wrong with sticking to grocery store goodies for everything, I do think it’s a nice touch to make at least one thing from scratch.
I like baking a loaf of pear blue cheese onion focaccia.
Focaccias make lovely sharable loaves with all their toppings. You can just cut the loaf into small slices to serve it.
This eliminates fussy time-consuming prep work.
As with any yeasted bread, there is more inactive time than active since you have to allow it time to rise.
Those moments give you opportunities to cross off other pre-party prep from your to-do list.
