This is my decadent, robust version of bruschetta. I like to serve it at parties, especially on New Year’s or other winter holidays. If you don’t like blue cheese, you can substitute feta or goat cheese. —Kristyne Mcdougle Walter, Lorain, Ohio

An appetizer is part of a meal that's served before the main course. You might serve your dinner guests an appetizer of crab-stuffed mushrooms when they first arrive for dinner. Usually, an appetizer is a small serving of food — just a few bites — meant to be eaten before an entree, and often shared by several people.
Fresh Fruits and Vegetables – are the simplest appetizer. Fruits are good appetizers because they give an attractive appearance, fragrance, appealing taste and delicious flavor. For example, you could serve a platter of thinly sliced cucumbers, chunks of red bell pepper and baby carrots.
Some of my favorites: Deviled eggs, bruschetta, crackers with cheese and dried salami, artichoke & spinach dip with tortilla chips, stuffed mushrooms, mini-spanakopita, Chinese dumplings. What are some tasty but easy to make snacks or appetizers that don't involve any cooking? Salami cheese wraps.
What street foods are starting to pick up steam in the appetizer category? Bao buns from China, empanadas from Spain, falafel from the Middle East, and crepes from France are all rising in popularity. Look to these for inspiration for next-level appetizers that will truly delight adventurous consumers.
There are nine main classifications of appetizers: canapes, chips and dip, co*cktails, finger foods, fruits and vegetables, hors d'oeuvres, petite (small salads), relishes and crudite, and other.
I classify dishes as finger food appetizers when they are small, individual portions of food. Ideally, they can be eaten in 1-2 bites, and do not create a mess. There are no sticky fingers, no drips, no crumbs. Think – crostini topped with goat cheese and prosciutto, or something like Cranberry Brie Bites.
