Snacks to eat during the Christmas celebrations
When presenting a dish, it is not necessary to have large amounts of ingredients or to make a very elaborate recipe, but it does have to be accompanied by a beautiful presentation.
In this case I want to show you how to present some appetizers to eat during the Christmas celebrations.
Without further ado I present several recipes that you can use to give a very elegant, charming and Christmas touch to your meetings.
Baked peaches with brie cheese
For people who love to put some fruit in their preparations, these baked peaches with brie cheese are ideal.
You will need to wash the peaches well and cut them into 2 equally sized pieces, making sure to remove the pit.
When you have the halves ready, with a brush apply a little honey. Bake on a tray for 30 minutes, at 180 degrees Celsius. They must be well cooked before taking out.
When they are ready, remove from the oven and drop a layer of brie cheese on them, along with a slice of ham.
Drizzle a little cream of Balsamic Vinegar of Modena and decorate with a little parsley; and serve them warm.
Christmas sausage and cheese wreath
This more than a preparation refers to the way in which the appetizers will be presented. It may be seen that it requires a lot of work, but it can really be done very easily. Here are the details.
For this preparation you will need salami, cherry tomato, mozzarella cheese balls, black and green olives. With the help of a toothpick or cocktail stick, prick the salami, a ball of cheese. You will place these on a round plate to form the structure of the crown.
Make another appetizer, but this time instead of cheese add an olive. And repeat until the plate is complete. At the end, put a little rosemary to decorate and give the green touch to the crowns.
Penguins with olives
If you have liked these preparations so far, wait to prepare these olive penguins. This presentation everyone will love. It certainly takes a bit of time, depending on your skills, but I assure you it will be worth it.
They are so cute that when served on a plate they could decorate a table. Or even if you serve three copies, you can use it as a centerpiece.
You are going to require olive penguins, pitted black olives, 2 per specimen and a small mozzarella ball per penguin.
You will also need to chop a carrot into slices to make the feet. You will also need some red pepper and custard.
With a toothpick, prick an olive ball for the head and a cheese ball for the body. Then add the foot-shaped slice for the base. In the holes of the olives, place a small carrot triangle to make the peak.
Now make a triangle-shaped piece of the red pepper into the hat. And with a little pastry cream add the details. If it is easier for you, you can take a long strap and place it around the neck of the scarf penguin.
Chop an olive in half to place around the cheese ball to give the appearance of wings.
Help yourself with another toothpick so that they maintain their posture. And ready! Some olive penguins ready to taste.
Pears with gorgonzola and walnuts
Another good option to prepare appetizers are these pears with gorgonzola and walnuts. Their flavor is incredible, and you will be surprised how quickly you can prepare them.
It is necessary to gather at least 4 very ripe pears, gorgonzola cheese, walnuts and sweetener.
With these ingredients begin to clean the persians, dry them and cut them in half. Make sure to remove the seeds and the core so that there is a hole in the center.
Place them in a baking tray or mold, add a little honey or sweetener. Take them to the oven for 25 minutes at 170 degrees Celsius.
You just need them to soften. While this is happening, chop the nuts. Remember that you can buy them peeled in the market, although they usually have a higher cost.
If you get them complete, peel them and with the help of a roller make them separate into considerable parts. Add even whatever walnut powder you can create.
When the pears are ready, remove them from the oven and add the cheese and walnuts, in the hole made.
Return to the oven for 5 minutes until the ingredients are integrated with the melted cheese. Take out and take advantage of serving while they are still warm.
You can prepare these interesting recipes as appetizers or simply to decorate your dishes. I assure you that in addition to setting the scene, you will give a special touch to each dish.
Especially if you have little guests for the celebration, these personifications will create special moments for them with their family in the company of a healthy and delicious dish.
Dare to get out of the routine and give a special touch to the Christmas classics that accompany your family celebrations.
