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.

Pinapple Cheese Ball

 

Ingredients

16 oz pkgs. cream cheese
7 oz can crushed pineapple, very
1 well drained
2 cup crushed pecans
1/4 cup chopped green pepper
2 tbsp chopped onion
1 tsp seasoned salt



 

Preparation

While cream cheese is softening, drain the pineapple in a sieve. It
must be very dry or the ball will be hard to work with. Mix cheese
with dry pineapple, green pepper, onion, seasoned salt and one cup of
the pecans. Place in the refrigerator, cover with saran wrap
overnight to allow to harden. With a spatula force the cheese up into
the shape of a ball. Place the remaining cup of pecans on a sheet of
waxed paper and roll the ball shape out onto them, rolling and
shaping the ball as you cover the entire ball with pecans. Place on a
large platter and surround with half slices of sliced pineapple or
just crackers. I find this is so pretty, I usually have to start it
myself. No one wants to cut into it.
