Got Guests? Hors d'oeuvre Medley

This is great for when you're having guests over or you want a less traditional meal with a lot of variety.

Recipes are from top left cuonter clock-wise

Over-stuffed Develish Eggs
Ingredients:
6 Eggs
1/4 Cup Mayonnaise
1/4 teaspoon Chili Powder
1/2 teaspoon Salmbal Oelek mixedwith 1/2 teaspoon melted Butter
1/2 teaspoon fresh Chives, diched
1/2 Cup Bacon chuncks and drippings

Directions:
Hard boil the 6 eggs to desired doneness (I boil mine for 15 minutes). When eggs are done, remove from heat and cool in cold water until they are cool enough to handle. Carefully peel the shell off of the Eggs and place in a safe location. When you are done peeling the Eggs cut each one in half length-wise so that you end up with 2 "bowls" made of Egg White. Scoop out the Egg yolk into another bowl. Place the Egg White bowls on a plate face-up.

Mash the Egg Yolks until there are only fine little crumbles, then add the Mayonnaise and mix well. Add the Chili Powder, Salt, Sambal Oelek and Butter mixture, and half of the Chives and mix well together. In a skillet cook the chuncks of Bacon until they are completely cooked and a little crunchy. Add the Bacon chuncks and the fat their drippings to the bowl with the Egg Yolk mixture. Mix well.

Spoon the mixture into each Egg White bowl. Sprinkle the remaining Chives on the Eggs. Enjoy!


Caveman Pizza
Ingredients:
1 medium-large Tomato
1 ball of fresh mozarella (125 g or 4.4 oz.)
6 fresh Basil leaves
Olive Oil
Red-wine Vinegar
Salt
Pepper

Directions:
Slice the tomato into 6 slices (6 rounds); slice the Mozarella ball into 6 slices and place one slice on each tomato. Place one Basil leaf on each piece of Mozarella. Make sure that the Caveman Pizzas are on the plate you wish to serve them on. Drizzle some Olive Oil over the Cavemen Pizzas,then drizzle some Vinegar over them. Sprinkle with Salt and Pepper to taste.

Goes well with Ciabatta (a type of Italian bread) or a Baguette (French bread) sliced. Use the bread to soak up the Vinegar and Oil from the plate once the Caveman Pizzas are eaten.

Chicken Wings
Ingredients:
8 Chicken Wings

Honey-Mustard Marinade: (for 4 Chicken Wings)
1 Tablespoon Yellow Mustard (from the jar)
1 teaspoon Honey
1/4 teaspoon Pepper
1/4 teasppon Salt
1/4 teaspoon ground Mustard Seed

Directions:
In a small bowl combine all ingredients and stir wel together. Coat Chicken Wings in marinade and place on a baking sheet in the middle of the oven. Broil/Grill at 275°C (552.6°F) for 10 minutes on the bottom side of the Chicken wings, then flip over and brush the marinade on again and then continue to broil for another 7 minutes or until the Wings are done.

Sambal Oelek Marinade: (for 4 Chicken Wings)
2 Tablespoons Salbal Oelek
1 Tablespoon Butter

Directions:
In a small sauce pan melt butter and Salmbal Oelek together, do not boil. Remove from heat. Brush on Chicken wings and place on a baking sheet in the middle of the oven. Broil/Grill at 275°C (552.6°F) for 10 minutes on the bottom side of the Chicken wings, then flip over and brush the marinade on again and then continue to broil for another 7 minutes or until the Wings are done.

All three recipes makes 1 meal for 2 people. But, I beleive it would make enough Hors d'oeuvres for 6 guests.
