Pumpkin Spice Hot Honey Brie Bites

My friend Jenny made these Pumpkin Spice Hot Honey Brie Bites. They are absolutely delicious. The recipe calls for frozen puff pastry, but she used phyllo dough. The ultra-thin layers of phyllo create a crackling sound and feel when bitten, providing a spectacular contrast to the creamy, soft texture of the melted brie. This is a great addition to your holiday party appetizers.

Salami Paté

I saw Tom Fauconnet (@totocuistot_ ) make this phenomenal Salami spread. There is nothing better when you find out you happen to have all the ingredients. So 5 minutes later, voilà, utter perfection! My kids can over right away to consume this fabulous paté and it miraculously disappeared in 5 minutes. We discussed other uses for it, like spread on a grilled cheese or even maybe stirred into pasta.

Deviled Potatoes

With egg prices soaring, I decided to try these Deviled Potatoes. Instead of hard-boiled eggs, small potatoes were halved and baked until tender before being gently hollowed. The scooped-out potato flesh was then combined with mayonnaise, white wine vinegar, and a blend of seasonings to create a creamy filling. This mixture was carefully spooned back into the potato shells and topped with crispy chopped bacon and fresh parsley. My only regret? Not tripling the recipe. They were such a hit that they vanished in a flash.
