Appetizers are small first course dishes presented before the entree or main meal.


These are typically served at the beginning of the meal in order to inspire the appetite.

Frequently referred to as the "First Course." These normally consist of small portions of cold or hot foods (such as a salad, egg roll, crab cakes, buffalo wings etc) which are intended to set the digestive fluids to their duties and in doing so whet the appetite for the other courses to come.

Different cultures will have their own particular variations, for example:

  • Tapas (Spain)
  • Mezedakia (Greece)
  • Antipasto (Italy)


Although normally served before a main course, appetizers also make ideal finger food for parties and entertaining. You may also like to create a whole meal beased on selection of different appetizers.

These appetizers are part of our collection of over 60,000 recipes.

Mushroom Pastry Appetizers

 

Ingredients

5 tsp unsalted butter
1 1/2 lb fresh mushrooms, chopped
1 1/2 medium onions, chopped
3/4 tsp lemon juice
2 tbsp flour
1 1/2 tsp dried thyme
1 salt & pepper to taste
3 frozen puff pastry sheets, thawed

GLAZE

2 large eggs beaten with 3 tsp.
1 -water



 

Preparation

Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add chopped
mushrooms and onions. Cook until juices evaporate, stirring
occasionally. Stir in lemon juice, flour and thyme. Stir for 2
minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Cool.

Spread 1/3 of mushroom mixture evenly over 1 pastry sheet. Starting
from one short side, roll up jelly roll fashion to the center of the
sheet only. Starting at second short side, roll to center. Press two
sides together and transfer to baking sheet.

Repeat with two remaining pastry sheets and mushrooms. Cover and chill
until firm, and least 2 hours or overnight. (Can be prepared up until
this point and frozen for 1 week.) Thaw slightly before baking.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Using a serrated knife, slice pastry
into 1/4-inch thick slices. Slices should look like figure eights.
Arrange cut side down on ungreased baking sheets, spacing 1 inch
apart. Brush with glaze.

Bake until golden brown, about 20 minutes. Serve warm.
