Ingredients:

6 Eggs
1 Tbsp mustard
½ Cucumber, sliced
6 Small slices cheddar
3 Lettuce leaves
1/3 Cup dill, chopped
Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions:

Step 1.

Place the eggs in a small pot in a single layer. Cover with cold water. Turn heat to medium-high and bring water to boil, covered. Uncover and boil for 7 minutes. Meanwhile, place a good amount of ice in a large bowl and fill with water. When the timer goes off, immediately remove eggs from the water with a slotted spoon and transfer to the ice bath. Let them sit for several minutes in the water.

Step 2. 

Peel the eggs and cut each in half. Take one half, turn it over and cut some of the white off so that when you turn it back over, it will stand nicely. This will be the bottom half. Make this with 6 of the halves. The remaining halves are for the top.

Step 3.

Sprinkle each sliced egg with salt and black pepper and spread some mustard over.

Step 4.

Top the bottom halves with a cheddar slice, two slices cucumber, a piece of lettuce and cover with the other egg half. Secure with a cocktail stick. Sprinkle dill and more black pepper.

Banitsa Appetizer

Banitsa is a classic Bulgarian pastry made with phyllo dough, yogurt, and cheese, all rolled into a delicious dessert spiral. It’s like a cheese danish and Greek baklava combined! In Bulgarian culture, it’s common to serve banitsa on major holidays, like Christmas or New Year’s, with small, lucky charms called kismets baked into the dough.

While banitsa is traditionally a sweet pastry, it’s gotten a savory twist as time goes on – much like this Banitsa Appetizer recipe! All the flaky goodness of phyllo, the decadence of yogurt, and a tasty touch of cheese and rosemary – it’s the best of all the worlds! They’re so cute, you could just eat them all up.

Ingredients

¼ Cup + 1 Tbsp olive oil
3 Eggs
2 Cups yogurt
1 ½ Cup feta cheese, rinsed and crumbled
1/3 cup all-purpose flour
½ Tsp baking soda
1 Pack phyllo sheets
1 Cup unsalted butter, melted
1/4 Cup carbonated water
Salt (If the feta is not salty)
Fresh rosemary
Nigella seeds

Instructions

Step 1.

Preheat oven to 350 F. Grease a baking sheet with 1 tablespoon olive oil, then dust lightly with flour.

Step 2.

In a large bowl, beat eggs. Whisk in yogurt until smooth. Add feta, flour, baking soda, and salt. Mix well and set aside.

Step 3.

In a medium bowl, stir the remaining olive oil with melted butter. Set aside

Step 4.

Lightly dust work surface with flour. Unroll the phyllo sheets. Gently brush the top sheet with the butter mixture. Add 2-3 tablespoons of the feta yogurt in a thin line across the short side. Tightly roll up the phyllo sheet to the other short side. Place it in the baking sheet seam side down. Repeat with remaining phyllo sheets.

Step 5.

Drizzle the top of the banitsa with the remaining butter mixture and lightly with seltzer water.

Step 6.

Bake until the top is golden brown, about 45-60. Allow to cool down. Slice into bites and place into a serving plate, cut side up. Sprinkle with nigella seeds and top with rosemary. Serve with honey.

This is one insanely easy to make grab and go appetizer that you can serve at any occasion! Well.. except for one… baby shower… Unfortunately, the blue cheese used in this recipe is not cooked and these amongst other soft cheese is one of the foods Mommy-to-be should avoid. So, I’m so very sorry if you’ve come here looking for a recipe for a baby shower… I promise the next one would be appropriate!

Walnuts have many health benefits but I’m not a big fan of eating them on its own, so this walnut, cheese with a drizzle of honey combo works like a charm. It is absolutely delicious and it is very simple to make. If blue cheese is not your thing, try any other soft cheese. You can also roast your walnut with maple syrup for extra sweetness. It’s your call, enjoy the savory treat!

1 Tbsp roasted walnuts, chopped
3 Slices blue cheese

Heat the grill. Slice the pears into half-moons and grill both sides until nicely browned. Set aside.

Step 2.

Spread the cream cheese over the bread slices.

Step 3.

Top with grilled pears and blue cheese. Sprinkle with roasted walnuts, black pepper, and mint leaves. Drizzle with honey. Serve.
