Finger Food Ideas For Christmas Parties

Mini-sandwiches are Everyone’s Favorite Party Food

When it comes to party food, cocktail sandwiches top the list as everyone’s favorite appetizer. Mini-sandwiches can be made using a variety of spreads and different stuffing ingredients. Prepare unique spreads such as sun-dried tomato dip seasoned with garlic, paprika, salt and olive oil.

A yoghurt-cucumber spread seasoned with salt, parsley and cumin powder works very well for sandwiches. Cold meats, veggies such as bell peppers, mushrooms, olives, etc. can be used for sandwich filling.

Cut your sandwiches into Christmas-shaped motifs such as bells, Christmas tree, etc. There are special Christmas-shaped cookie cutters available which can also be used to cut these mini-sandwiches.

Deviled Eggs Make for Beautiful and Delicious Christmas Party Food

Deviled eggs are easy to make and you can easily incorporate the colors of Christmas in the stuffing. This will make these deviled eggs look attractive. Try making a different stuffing by using innovative ingredients instead of the traditional cheese and mayonnaise filling. To make these Christmas Deviled Eggs, hard boil eggs, slit them into half and remove the yolk.

Mash the egg yolks separately in a bowl and to this add salt, black pepper, little mustard sauce, tomato ketchup, chopped parsley, and some cream cheese. Mix all the ingredients thoroughly. Stuff the empty egg whites with the prepared stuffing. Garnish the egg whites with red and green bell peppers slices to incorporate holiday season colors.

Stuffed Mushrooms Make for Exotic Party Appetizers

Mushrooms can be stuffed with a mix of cream cheese, bread-crumbs, and bacon-bits. You can use your own creativity to season the stuffing. Salt, black pepper, dried herbs such as thyme or parsley, finely chopped onions or garlic, etc. work very well as seasoning for stuffed mushrooms.

Stuff the prepared filling into hollow mushrooms and drizzle them with melted butter. Bake these stuffed mushrooms at 350 degree Fahrenheit for 30 minutes. Serve these delicious mushroom bites with fresh tomato salsa or a butter-parsley dip.
