Appetizers for a BBQ

I usually serve stuffed jalapenos and stuffed mushrooms for a bbq.
Also, quck quesedillas - brush a tortilla with a bit of oil or butter,
fill one half with shredded cheese and onions (and peppers et al) not
quite to the edge - fold other half over. Cook till browned and flip
for the same.

For the stuffed veggies, cream cheese works fine, but I usually add
horseradish, mustard, and some herb. Also, other cheese work fine as
well. For shrooms, stem and fill. For peppers, halve, clean, and fill.

HI all,

I was invited to a friends house for a bbq, it's the typical bbq with
burgers & hotdog, sausages, salads etc. I asked what can I bring & she
said bring appetizers. the first thing I thought was spinach dip &
crackers. But I'm looking for more ideas.
So anyone have some suggestions?

Thanks & Take care,
SPOONS

Dips are easy and a good choice for a BBQ. How many people? Maybe make
several dips, the spinach dip, shrimp dip, roasted red pepper dip, all
clustered in the center of a large tray. Bring both crackers and veggies to
use for dipping.

Get a [censored] tasting jam, some brie cheese and some puff pastry shells. Cook
the shells, cut of the tops insert equal amounts of cheese and jam
put tops back on...reheat to melt the cheese at the party. Or do the same
thing in phyllo bundles.

mini spanikopia made with phyllo pastry.or make a big log and cut slices

small quich tartlets.

a variety of cheeses and fruit tray.

A shrimp ring.

Smoked sausage chunks on toothpicks...with a sauce.

That knorr soup dip in a hollowed out pumpernikel loaf served with the
bread you removed.

Deviled eggs 2 or 3 kinds

candied salmon on a stick.(toothpicks)

Dim sum with a sauce

potato skins

Spoons,

Buy a couple *thingys* of guacamole, put it in YOUR bowl and bring some
tortilla chips. The secret is that guacamole goes great on burgers!

Was someone bringing watermelons for desert? Spitting contests are such
fun for all ages and gender.

Alan, IMHO, some of those sound a bit over the top for a burger and
hotdog BBQ, although I know I would enjoy every one of them!

Maybe she's an over achiever.

I asked what can I bring & she said bring appetizers.

A few weeks ago at the M.A. Gedney Company Pickle-nic celebrating 125
years in the pickle-making business, this was one of the appetizers
served. They were very tasty and I'd never seen anything like them.
Picture is on my webpage, http://www.jamlady.eboard.com; the note is
titled The Minnesota Pickle, 8-17-05

Smokey Bacon & Swiss Stuffed Pickles

4 oz grated aged swiss cheese
2 tbsp cream cheese, softened
1 tbsp mayonnaise
1 tsp brown mustard
2 tbsp diced roasted red pepper
4 slices bacon, diced, cooked and drained (reserve 1/4 cup for garnish
4 Gedney Deli Dill Crunchy Pickles

Cut pickles in half lengthwise, then cut shallow V down the center of
each one, starting 1/2 inch from one end and cutting to within 1/2 inch
of other end; discard seedy Vs you've cut out (or eat them while you
work). Turn pickles upside down on paper towels to drain.

Mix the ret of the ingredients thoroughly with fork. Use fork to fill V
in eac pickle with cheese mixture, mounding cheese slightly, covering
whole cut side of pickle. Arrange on platter. If you want, garnish
with reserved bacon bits or chopepd chives, chopped green onons, or
chopped parsley.

Makes 8 stuffed pickles.

Good point. I like both. I put finely crumbled crisp bacon in the mustard
based eggs. I have to admit to putting tiny "bits" of things in the yolk
mixture. I don't care for it smooth.

"Polish Roses" may go over well, they sure get gobbled up when I make
them for my Marines! Halve the recipe for less than eight people:

2 jars of Armour's dried beef slices
2-3 bunches of real skinny scallions
1-2 containers of whipped cream cheese
Hopefully you will find very skinny scallions, but the fatter ones can
be slit lengthwise so as to become much thinner than your pinkie. Wash
and trim the scallions to use only as much of the dark green so as to
have each onion two inches longer than the width of the meat slices.
Spread cream cheese onto a beef slice and roll one scallion into it.
That's it, they're simple to make and can be refrigerated wrapped
tightly in foil until needed, putting them onto a pretty plate for
serving.
