Ingredients
- Assorted cheeses (Cheddar, Brie, Goat cheese)
- Fresh herbs (Thyme, Rosemary, Parsley)
- Seasonal vegetables (Bell peppers, Zucchini, Mushrooms)
- Cured meats (Prosciutto, Salami)
- Dipping sauces (Hummus, Spinach dip, Salsa)
- Savory pastries (Phyllo dough, Puff pastry)
- Crackers and breadsticks
Instructions
- Begin by prepping your ingredients. Chop your vegetables into bite-sized pieces, crumble the cheeses, and slice the meats thinly.
- Combine cheeses in a bowl with fresh herbs. Mix until well incorporated; texture should be smooth yet textured.
- For phyllo or puff pastry, roll it out and cut into squares or circles for filled appetizers. Be generous with your filling, but don’t overstuff.
- Preheat your baking sheet in the oven for even cooking. It’s ready when a drop of water sizzles on contact.
- Place assembled appetizers on the hot sheet and brush each with olive oil for a golden finish.
- Bake until golden, about 15-20 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.

Serving suggestions include garnishing with fresh herbs and using seasonal produce for enhanced flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to three days.
