Phyllo Turnovers with Shrimp and Ricotta Filling

I have been working with various stuffing for phyllo. This is by far the best I have come up with.

Cheese Filled Triangles

The only tricky part of this recipe is working with phyllo, and once you get the hang of it, it’s fun. Sometimes you get a bad batch of phyllo that rips and tears easily, so I always buy an extra just in case. I have frozen these before baking. Just add a few minutes to cooking time when you cook them in a frozen state. I have also doubled this recipe for large parties.

Spinach Pinwheels

Here’s a great looking and great tasting appetizer. It’s easy, too! You can substitute any flavor of cheese spread for garlic herb.

Cheese Crispies

These are addictive! They can be made to anyone’s taste by adjusting the amount of heat.

Spinach and Mushroom Pinwheels

For a head start on these appetizers, freeze unbaked slices for up to 3 months.

Buffalo Wontons

Shredded chicken with buffalo sauce and cream cheese, wrapped up in a warm, crunchy wonton. These are easy and delicious. The perfect appetizer for a party or at home! I like to serve them with blue cheese or ranch dressing.

Dirty Diapers

A great appetizer that tastes so much like mini-slider cheeseburgers. These are great for informal get-togethers or a football party!

Baked Cream Cheese Appetizer

Easy, yummy appetizer. Great for unexpected guests during the holidays. Serve with crackers and assorted apple slices.

Puffs

If you like jalapeno poppers, you will love these fried wontons stuffed with cheese and jalapeno!

Zucchini Cheese Garlic Appetizer

Wonderful little biscuits filled with cooked zucchini and cheese. Garlic and herbs round out the flavor nicely.

Bacon Cheese Treats

These treats are great and they go fast!

Asiago Toasted Cheese Puffs

A rich and tasty appetizer. People will request the recipe EVERY time you make it!

Jalapeno Popper Cups

Didn’t have enough Jalapenos to make full out poppers, but improvised for a creamy and spicy appetizer. You’ll want to eat them right away, but they will be molten hot so be careful!!

Blue Cheese and Pear Tartlets

Tasty, hot appetizers that take little time to prepare but will impress your guests!

Tiny Chicken Turnovers

These turnovers make great appetizers and they’re worth the extra effort because they taste so good! For do-ahead appetizers, they can be baked, frozen and reheated at 375degrees F (190 degrees C) for 5-7 minutes.

Jalapeno Popper Wontons

A simple Asian twist on jalapeno poppers served with sweet chili sauce.

Authentic Chinese Egg Rolls (from a Chinese person)

My mom is the best cook ever and I am a picky eater. If I like this, then you will. This is very authentic because my family is Chinese and I am too. This recipe is at least 300 years old in the Ling family.

Beef Samosas

Beef and potatoes are the main ingredients folded inside these wonderful deep fried samosas. Chicken livers may be substituted for beef, if you choose. My friend from Bangladesh gave me this savory, spicy recipe. You just can’t buy better in the shops.
