Ideas for savoury dish for party

patchwork_cat

Hi
My daughter has a school party on tomorrow and she brought a note home on thursday to say that she needs to provide a savoury dish for 4 people. We have been seriously busy car hunting this weekend and haven't been to the shops. Someone else will be providing sandwiches and crisps and cakes. We were thinking of mini sausages or sausage rolls, but we haven't got them in . Anyone any ideas? Thank you :beer:

Hi hun,

Have you got any cheese and tomato pizza? Don't know why but I love it after its turned cold!!! (I don't eat meat so wouldn't know how safe cooled meats would be on a pizza???)

Depends what you already have in
How about some salads eg
potato salad
pasta salad
etc
Or line small patty tins with puff pastry and fill with ham/cheese/egg mixture.
whatever you have. Nice cold (after you've baked 'em of course)
Mini quiches? Similar to above but with short crust pastry
Stuffed peppers? Cut top and bottom from pepper, remove seeds and stuff with cream cheese. Chill and cut into slices.
That's all I can think of just now, but no doubt more will be along with better ideas.

got any cheese? go retro and do cheese/onion or cheese/pineapple on sticks? Kids seem to love em!

Other wise, I second the idea of cold pizza, as long as there's no meat on it.

Yes, pizza sounds good, but got none in! As for salads yes, but they are eating with their fingers.

Devilled Eggs

Hard boil some eggs
Cut them in half lengthways
Scoop out the yolks
Mix yolks with mayonnaise and a bit of curry powder
Stick the mix back in the holes in the whites

Job Done

If you want them to stand upright a bit better, just take a tiny slice off the bottom so they aren't rounded

Hi patchwork cat.....could you possibly make a pizza? If you aren't able to make the base yourself, have you got any french bread? You can make pizza bases with nice crusty bread.

I would toast it a bit first, very lightly. Then make a tomatoe-y topping by frying a chopped onion, a bit of garlic and a few herbs in some oil. add a tin of chopped tomatoes and a squirt of tomatoe puree - you could add a few bits of veg if you like, peppers, mushrooms, corn, etc. Simmer it for about half an hour til it thickens.

Spread onto your bread, top with some grated cheese and bung in the oven til the cheese melts. Cool and cut into fingers. YUM!

Stuffing Balls/Dip

Make up a pack of stuffing mix.
Roll it into small balls.
Bake until they look done.

If you've got cocktail sticks, stick them in.

To make a dip:
Mix mayonnaise with whatever spices you've got to make something like:
- Chilli dip
- Curry dip

Penny-Pincher!!

Rice salad with variations
Cold Fishfingers
cheese straws/cheese puffs
pasta salad with tuna mayo or chicken
sweet & sour
potato skins

Don't suppose you've got a quiche in the freezer have you? That would be the simplest thing, just cook it and cut into wedges when cold.
