5/5 (2)Published Sep 2, 2022Category Appetizers, Recipe Roundup
- Vegetarian Mezze Platter. A Mezze platter is the ultimate appetizer. It’s similar to a charcuterie board, but all of the ingredients are more plant-based rather than meats and cheeses.
- Mediterranean Appetizer Pinwheels. Mediterranean pinwheels are a delicious dish that starts with puff pastry that is layered with yummy ingredients. Want to save this recipe?
- 7-Layer Mediterranean Dip. Mediterranean 7-layer dip is a twist on a classic game-day dip. The layers start with hummus of course, then labne, a yogurt cheese spread, is layered next.
- Mediterranean Tomato Bites. Mediterranean tomato bites will be a hit at your next party or holiday gathering. The puff pastry base is light and crispy.
- Whipped Feta Cheese Dip. Whipped feta cheese dip makes an incredible alternative to feta cheese. It’s salty, creamy, and tastes great with pita or veggies.
- Mediterranean Nachos. Nachos are always a fun food, but this Mediterranean version is superb! Whether it’s game day or lazy day, these nachos are sure to be a hit.
- Mediterranean Antipasto Skewers. Mediterranean antipasto skewers are both easy and tasty! You can stack on almost any ingredient you like, but I love the mix of everything in this recipe.
- Easy Spanikopita. Spanakopita is a popular Mediterranean appetizer. It’s filled with spinach and feta cheese and is perfect for dipping. Although they might seem like a difficult dish to prepare, this recipe is rather easy.
- Homemade Mediterranean Hummus. Hummus is incredibly easy to make at home, and you can make it taste just how you prefer. Flavors of lemon, sesame, garlic, and spices mix together to create a creamy and protein-packed dip.
- Epic Baba Ganoush. Baba ganoush is another Mediterranean dip that’s ultra creamy and luxurious. It’s made with grilled or roasted eggplant so it has a yummy, smoky flavor.
CHEESE BALL RECIPES FOR EASY CROWD-PLEASING PARTY APPETIZERS
From foodnetwork.ca
- Snowman Cheese Ball. Get the kids involved in making their first cheese ball by building this cute snowman. This can easily be made ahead and frozen for later parties.
- Herb Coeur à la Crème. Leave it to the Barefoot Contessa to make a cheese ball into an upscale appetizer. This coeur à la crème from Ina Garten is full of dill, chives and scallions and would be delicious as a complement to a smoked salmon platter.
- Pecan and Jalapeno Cheese Ball. Lest you worry that cheese balls are bland, this recipe amps things up with chopped jalapeno pepper and sharp cheddar. Rolled in a crunchy layer of pecans and topped with pomegranate seeds and fried shallots, this flavourful cheese ball is a myriad of colour and textures.
- Turkey Cheese Ball. Before you reveal the big bird, serve this miniature version for guests to nibble away at. Cream cheese and Cheddar make up the classic cheese ball filling, while crushed pecans add a delightful coating and crunch to each satisfying bite.
- Holiday Wreath Cheese Ball. Is it a beautiful wreath or a delightful cheese dish? Spoiler alert: it’s both! Part table decor and part appetizer, this colourful Christmas-themed starter is 100 per cent festive and sure to disappear just as soon as someone has the heart to carve into it.
- Pistachio/Cashew “Cheese” Ball. Vegans don’t need to look longingly at the dairy-laden treats on the appetizer buffet any longer — this ingenious pistachio-crusted cashew cheese ball uses soaked raw cashews, miso paste and nutritional yeast to mimic the flavour and texture of the real thing.
- Chèvre and Green Grape Truffles. Go green with a seedless green grape nestled inside a chèvre and pistachio crust. This recipe from Trish Magwood also splashes in a hint of port which, along with toasting the pistachios, adds deeper flavour.
- Italian Cheese Ball. Give your cheese ball an Italian flair by adding in some of the ingredients from a classic antipasto: salami, kalamata olives, roasted red peppers and marinated artichoke hearts.
- Blue Cheese and Bacon Truffles. Play off the slight saltiness of gorgonzola with chopped, double-smoked bacon for these cheesy takes on truffles. Rolling them in finely crushed pretzels is a surefire way to get some crunch.
