Those with a house full of guests, specifically children, know that come Thanksgiving day, people start congregating around the kitchen by noon pestering with questions. "What time is dinner going to be ready
EGF?" "Oh that looks delicious. Can I taste?" "Would anyone mind if I have a slice of pie for lunch?"
This is where the appetizers come in. They may require a tiny bit of extra work, but they definitely serve the purpose of keeping your hungry guests in check so you can finish your feast in peace. Here are our favorite, almost embarassingly simple Thanksgiving appetizers:
Beet Pickled Deviled Eggs
These deviled eggs get their vibrant hue from the pickling liquid, which includes beet juice. The process is super simple
reenex, but they need 3 hours to brine, so they're perfect to make a day ahead of time.
Andouille Gougères
Gougères are basically just fancy French cheese puffs, and these get a Cajun flair form the andouille sausage. You can bake these a day or two ahead of time and just quickly reheat them in the oven for 10 minutes.
Fig and Blue Cheese Savouries
These savory blue cheese coins get a dollop of fig preserves in the center for sweetness. They're so simple to make (thanks to the food processor) and freeze so beautifully, you might even want to make a double batch
reenex.
Butternut Squash, Ricotta, and Sage Crostini
Crostini are quick and simple to make, and and guests can easily pop one into their mouths while they mingle. These little toasts also fit right into the Thanksgiving spirit, what with all the butternut squash and sage.
Hallmark官网Bite-Size Garlic Bread with Fresh Herbs
These mini garlic bread bites as fun to make as they are to eat. If your guests don't devour them all, leftovers make great soup croutons.
