4 easy-to-make recipes for the next house party
Good food makes even the blandest house parties worthwhile. So, it is worth imagining what amazing food would do to a truly rocking house party. When one plans a party, they usually pick what would make its menu first and then go on to plan the other aspects of the event. One needs quality recipes to make great meals, regardless of the ingredients at hand. Here are some easy-to-prepare recipes for killer parties:
Baked brie with pomegranates
Every delicious meal needs a great opening course to kickstart things, and this dish fits the bill perfectly. The combination of rich melted brie piled on a golden baguette and combined with fruit, honey, and nuts forms an irresistible combination for this appetizer. What’s more, this dish also looks visually striking with its mix of green, white, and red colors.
This recipe starts with a quick roll of dough to wrap some cheese within. This will be baked to create a brie. Placing this in the fridge for a while gives it a good texture. Once baked in an oven, one can put a layer of cheese and garnishes. Some favorite toppings for this dish are fresh pomegranate seeds, toasted pistachios, honey, rosemary, and sea salt.
One can use a combination of fruits (cherries, apple slices, or cranberries), nuts (walnuts or pecans instead of pistachios), and herbs (thyme leaves) to make this cheesy appetizer truly memorable.
Sausage rolls
If everything else underwhelms, sausage rolls always come around to save the day. This dish, also known as pigs in blankets, can be eaten as a delicious entrée (with other accompaniments) or as an incredible starter. House parties traditionally involve sausage rolls involving ground pork mixed with bacon. This mix is then wrapped in puff pastry and fried to perfection. Hosts can serve this meal with ketchup or other side dishes for added taste and eating pleasure.
Some of the side dishes one can use with sausage rolls are sautéed peppers and onions, mac and cheese, baked beans, coleslaw, potato salad, rosemary and garlic baked potato wedges, potato chips, grilled vegetables, applesauce, and creamy polenta.
Potato skins
This delicious snack involves halved potatoes loaded with cheese and bacon. Once that is done, they are baked until they become tender and fluffy. After cooling them down, these baked potatoes are topped with scallions and sour cream. Potato skins are one of the best appetizers as they contain several textures and flavors from rich ingredients such as sour cream, cheese, bacon, spuds, and occasionally coriander leaves. One can also turn this into a healthy recipe by leaving some fatty ingredients aside. The best part about this dish is that it is easy to make within a few minutes. All one needs to do is dump multiple ingredients together over sliced spuds before placing the mix in an oven, which ends up doing the lion’s share of work.
Garlic parmesan wings
A perfect recipe for lovers of wings, this is a dish that most people will end up loving. Therefore, one needs to make a big batch of this at any house party as it tends to finish in no time. To make these wings, one needs garlic, some parmesan cheese, and lots of butter. One can purchase vegan wings and coat a mix of the following ingredients on them before roasting or air-frying them to perfectly golden crispy wings.
