Any good Appetizer Recipes to share?

[CJK]

I'm going to a party of 10 people this weekend. It's a potluck and I'm responsible for the appetizer. I need to make it the day before. Any good recipes out there? I've done the pumpernickel w/ dip before, but I'd like to do something different but still tasty. Thanks in advance!!

I have found deviled eggs to be a huge favorite (comfort food) that nobody makes anymore. They are always appreciated!

Interesting about deviled eggs ... my friend's dad passed away last month. Someone made deviled eggs for dinner between the viewings. The next day after the funeral there were more deviled eggs. They were the first things to be gone!

Thanks so much everyone! I'm going to give it a go!

This is the best appetizer ever! I actually make a double batch of this before Thanksgiving and use it right through New Years. The longer it "ferments" the better it gets!

Jezebel

1 jar apple jelly
1 jar pineaplle jelly
1 jar horseradish
1 pinch dry mustard

Mix all and let set, overnight, at the very least. Serve over cream cheese with crackers!

I just went to a party Fri night that had these yummy tarts:

refrigerated pie dough, cut with scalloped cookie cutter (or just a circle) and put in mini muffin tins. Bake 425 for about 7-10 minutes or until done. For the filling, mix canned turkey chunks, pineapple tidbits, almond slices or slivers, chopped celery and mayo (to taste), and fill tart shells. Sprinkle w/ paprika and serve.

these were soooooo good!

There isn't exactly a "recipe" for this, but here's how I make them:

Buy fresh cheese ravioli (not frozen)
Heat oil, enough to well - cover ravioli (I usually use a fry daddy)
Drop ravioli (approx. 6-8 per batch) into hot oil (will float to top)
Let "fry" until lightly browned (may need to flip them over in the oil), remove from oil with slotted spoon, place on paper towels to drain excess oil
Sprinkle with mixture of Parmesan cheese and Ital. seasonings
Seve with warmed spaghetti sauce on side
YUMMY!!!
