Cold and hot snacks are light dishes that are served before a meal to enhance appetite or for an aperitif. These are sandwiches, tartlets, various mini rolls, pates… A lot depends on their presentation: an original and appetising snack prepares guests for what the feast will be like. Homemade snacks and buffet snacks are usually fresh, cooked or pickled vegetables, mushrooms, meat, fish, sausages, canned meat and fish, eggs or cheese.

Then the preparation of a delicious snack can be made more refined or vice versa — simpler. You can choose several feeding options: cold and warm.

I propose for the buffet table cheese balls with shrimp, which will be served on chips. It is quick and easy to prepare. Green breading is very similar to a Christmas tree and will look beautiful on the New Year’s table.

I want to share with you, chefs, an excellent spicy crispy snack, this peanut is much tastier and healthier than the purchased one. Very tempting nuts in this version! Peanuts contain about 52% oil. In terms of protein content (27%), ground nuts are second only to soy. There are also a lot of B and E vitamins in these beans.
Delicious cottage cheese. It can be used as a butter substitute for breakfast sandwiches and snacks. I added carrots and green onions. It turned out to be a great snack. Carotene is useful for beautiful skin and hair, calcium is for strengthening bones. But instead of buying expensive vitamin complexes at the pharmacy, it’s better to go to the refrigerator. Every housewife will have carrots and cheese.
This is such a delicious baked meat that my husband talks about it and asks me to cook more. I think that says it all. Very tasty, fragrant, tender, juicy.
A simple but delicious salad. After cooking it, you will enjoy the taste of fresh vegetables and cheese balls. Feel free to prepare this salad for a romantic dinner. You will be happy.
Not so long ago, I decided to make balls in a hurry, which for some reason I safely threw into the far corners of my memory. This snack is good because it is prepared in a minimum amount of time from a minimum of products that can be bought at the nearest store in case of an unexpected visit of guests. It has a piquant taste and looks very original. However, in the original recipe olives are used as a “surprise”. But since no one in our family likes either, I experimented with the filling.
I remembered one of the options for making cheese balls. I didn’t seem to find such a thing on the site, so I’m posting it, maybe it will be useful to someone. A very interesting combination of ingredients.
