Swirls of sausage and mustard in pie dough makes a perfect, attractive and delicious offering at parties. The sausage and mustard are rolled up in the dough, sliced like a jelly roll and baked.
Pastries
Chicken Curry Puffs
These oven-baked beauties are great as appetizers or a snack. They’re spicy and savory, with a subtle coconut milk base. In Malaysia, they are traditionally deep fried. But here’s a modern version. You can wrap them in different ways – as rolls, sealed pockets or semi-open bundles.
Spinach Strudels
These light, crispy phyllo pastry roll-ups are filled with spinach, breadcrumbs, and feta cheese. Best served warm out of oven.
Jamaican Saltfish Fritters (Stamp and Go)
A popular Jamaican appetizer. Just stamp them out in the kitchen, take some for the road and go! Saltcod can be prepared the day before for a quicker cook time. These are also good served with a spicy dipping sauce.
Crabby Cliff’s Mushroom Puffs
These crab and mushroom filled pastry puff squares have become a family favorite! We enjoy them as finger food on Saturday nights while watching a hockey game or entertaining guests.
Edamame-Stuffed Wontons
These delicious baked wontons are filled with an edamame (soy bean) stuffing and are sure to please! For a dipping sauce, I recommend spicy Chinese-style hot mustard, teriyaki sauce, or my personal favorite, Kraft™ Asian Toasted Sesame salad dressing.
Baked Brie in Phyllo with Mango Chutney
An easy recipe for baked brie. The gooey brie mixed with the crunchy phyllo and the tangy mango chutney makes the perfect appetizer or party pleaser! It wows company every time I make it. Red pepper jelly also works well instead of the mango chutney.
Salmon Puffs
Delightful salmon and feta cheese filling wrapped in puff pastry. I have substituted spinach and cooked tiny shrimp for salmon in this recipe too.
Easy German Bierocks (Runza)
This is a quick and easy version of German Bierocks; dough filled with cabbage, hamburger, and onions. They can then be baked or fried. If you have your own roll recipe they are even better.
Tomato Basil Squares
This is so simple. Reminds me of a Margherita Pizza. Very flavorful. I also think the sauce would also taste great on a panini sandwich, though I’ve never tried it.
Sun-Dried Tomato Cheesecake Squares
Savory egg, cheese, herb and tomato filling baked with a simple, golden crust. Beware – you might want to eat every single square!
