12 Original Snacks For The Holiday Table

We are sure that every hostess wants to pleasantly surprise her guests, so every time she prepares at least one new and original dish.

Well, what is a festive table without snacks? We are sure that every hostess wants to pleasantly surprise her guests, so every time she prepares at least one new and original dish.

We offer to cook bruschetta with zucchini, pepper appetizer, onion rings, stuffed tomatoes, salmon salad, snack tubes, cucumber boats, crispy balls. And if you are looking for unusual snacks, then we advise you to cook "mussels" from prunes, herring cheesecake, chocolate-covered bacon or spicy beetroot mousse.

1. Bruschetta with zucchini, sun-dried tomatoes and pesto

 

This is a very spectacular appetizer that every guest will want to try! So, pieces of baguette and zucchini need to be fried in a pan on both sides until golden brown. To prepare pesto in a blender bowl, grind greens, nuts, parmesan, garlic, add salt and olive oil. We spread a piece of baguette with curd cheese, spread the tomatoes, pesto and a circle of zucchini. Bon appetit!

2. "Mussels" from prunes

 

This appetizer goes well with a glass of good wine. For the filling, combine nuts, parsley, egg yolks, cheese, garlic and mayonnaise. We cut the prunes lengthwise and stuff them with the prepared mass. Arrange the prune "mussels" on a large platter lined with lettuce and serve.

3. Herring cheesecake

 

An elegant, eye-catching appetizer cake! To assemble such a cheesecake, you will need forms of two sizes: 19 and 21 cm. In a smaller form, you need to lay out layers of potatoes, mayonnaise + spreadable cheese, pickled onions, herring, eggs, mayonnaise-cheese sauce and carrots. Boiled beets need to be killed in a blender bowl with spreadable cheese, gelatin and pour the puff pastry with the beetroot mass. We send the cheesecake to the refrigerator for 3-4 hours, take it out of the mold, decorate to taste and serve.

4. Beautiful appetizer of peppers and cheese

 

Super easy and super tasty appetizer! Bell peppers are carefully peeled from the core and stuffed with a filling of cheese, eggs, garlic, dill and mayonnaise. We send the stuffed peppers to the refrigerator for 2-3 hours, then cut into rings and serve on the festive table!

5. Onion rings in bacon and breading

 

This is a crispy appetizer that will perfectly complement the menu of the festive table. Each onion ring should be wrapped with a strip of bacon, dipped in an egg, and then in chips crushed into crumbs. We spread the blanks on a baking sheet and send them to the oven for 20-25 minutes. Serve onion rings with tomato, garlic and/or savory sauces.

Delicious mini sandwiches that guests will surely enjoy. Salad prepared from salmon, gherkins and onions. We season the ingredients with a sauce of ketchup, oil, vinegar, sugar, bay leaf and cloves. Please note that the salad must be left for a day in the refrigerator. After a day, spread the salad on slices of bread and serve as an appetizer, garnished with herbs. Bon appetit!

Unusual, right? But exotic lovers will definitely appreciate it! Dry the bacon in the oven for 15-20 minutes. Then we grease the finished bacon with melted white and milk chocolate and decorate it to your taste, for example, with coconut, nuts, confectionery sprinkles, chili.

Crispy rolls with juicy filling, what could be better? For the filling, fry the chicken with onions in a pan, add sweet peppers, tomato paste and carrots. For the dough, you need to combine boiling water, butter, flour and salt. We roll out a rectangle from a piece of dough, put the filling, roll it into a tube, sprinkle with sesame seeds and bake for about 40 minutes. Snack tubes are ready, bon appetit!
