Spicy Deviled Eggs
"When appetizers are a little salty, like these deviled eggs, they are especially good with a refreshing sparkling wine. The creaminess and fattiness of the yolk is great with bubbly. You can omit the hot sauce if you don’t want them spicy. But spicy food also goes well with champagne. If you’re looking for additional mix-ins, try fresh dill or shiso (Japanese mint). Here are our suggestions for the bubbly to pair it with: -Italian Prosecco -Cremant (French Sparkling) -Columbia Valley Sparkling (Washington State)"
When it comes to planning a social gathering, we always like to recommend a variety of appetizers, snacks, and desserts to keep everyone satisfied. In addition to serving Spicy Deviled Eggs, we suggest adding a few more crowd-pleasing dishes to your menu.
For appetizers, consider serving Bacon-Wrapped Dates stuffed with goat cheese. The combination of sweet dates, savory bacon, and creamy cheese is sure to be a hit with your guests. Another great option is Mini Caprese Skewers, which are not only delicious but also easy to eat while mingling.
When it comes to snacks, you can't go wrong with a classic Charcuterie Board. Fill it with an assortment of cured meats, cheeses, fruits, nuts, and crackers to create a beautiful and delicious spread. Another tasty snack idea is Homemade Guacamole served with chips. The creamy avocado mixed with fresh lime juice, tomatoes, onions, and cilantro is always a crowd favorite.
For dessert, we recommend serving Mini Cheesecake Bites. These individual portions of creamy cheesecake topped with fruit or chocolate are the perfect sweet treat to end the meal. Another delicious option is Chocolate-Dipped Strawberries. These elegant treats are easy to make and always impress guests with their combination of sweet strawberries and rich chocolate.
With these additional appetizer, snack, and dessert ideas, your social gathering is sure to be a success!
