TwitThisThis year, bring back passed hors d'oeuvres with these serving ideas from about.com food guides Debra F. Weber and Diana Rattray and entertaining guide Donna Pilato:
- Line a platter with halved cherry tomatoes (cut side down). Between rows of tomatoes, sprinkle minced green onion tops. Place pigs in blankets, mini quiches or bruschetta on top.
- Use hollowed green peppers as serving bowls for dip. Surround with red pepper strips and Belgian endive spears as dippers.
- Toss 2 cups kalamata olives with 2 to 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, 2 teaspoons orange zest, a pressed garlic clove, and 1/2 teaspoon of whole toasted coriander seeds plus 1/2 teaspoon of cracked. Refrigerate for 2 days; stir occasionally. Come party time, serve in a red bowl on a silver tray lined with rosemary sprigs.
- Cover a platter with strands of silver or gold garland. Top with radicchio leaf cups filled with bite-sized macaroni-and-cheese baguettes.
