I need quick appetizer suggestions!

[joanis018]

Friends are coming over at 7 and I won't be home until 6 at the earliest. What can I make quickly and easily? I'm at a loss!

[karebear304]

Veggies with a dip, fruit on skewers with some fruit dip, cheese plate...trying to think of non-cooking things.

Hummus with pita chips...sprinkle some paprika on top and make a little dent for some olive oil.

Guacamole & chips

I just mash a few avacodos and mix w/ a little mayo and some cayene pepper. Easy peasy.

I like little caprese "salads" on skewers - grape/cherry tomatoes, little mozzarella balls, basil, sprinkle with a little balsamic vinaigrette. Super easy and really light.

haha, if this was me, I ain't gonna lie - I'd get some of those Pillsbury appetizer things. And maybe some mini quiches. I'm LAZY!

MAYO in guacamole?! Noooo!

I am always a fan of a good cheese plate. Or, mixing pesto with cream cheese makes for a yummy and easy crudite/cracker dip. Guac is great too - without mayo!

Just a teeny bit...I swear, it's good.

Guacamole, if no time for homemade get wholly guacamole, or frontera has a great mix and just add avocado. Don't add mayo whatever you do!!

Baked Brie, throw a wedge of brie in a dish with cranberries and brown sugar,throw it in the oventill it bubbles, serve with crackers.

[joanis018]

Okay I think cheese, fruit and wine wins.

That baked brie may be the ultimate winner.

My H suggested I make lettuce wraps. Not are they incredibly messy but they take FOREVER to make and require about 30 pans. WTH husband? Bad idea.

The baked Brie is easy and uses one dish. My husband would recommend something that uses a zillion pans too. Clueless!

It's insaNely amazing and easy. I've gotten special requests for it at parties. I usually only make half of the recipe, as one puff is usually enough, but it depends on how many peeps there are. I love it with fancy crackers or pita chips.

[karebear304]

If you want a cheese that you don't have to cook you can go with a goat cheese log too. I crush up pistachios and get those crasins, roll the log in the mixture (helps if you let it sit out for a bit) and then just put all the extras that don't stick on around the cheese.

Cut a few slices off the end for presentation sake and you're good to go.

Take a package of cream cheese softened and put jalapeño jelly over it serve with crackers
