Welcome back to Episode 3 of my Mini Summer Dinner Party Series! Inspired by the farmers market, these appetizers are great finger foods that are simple with fresh ingredients, as well as quick and easy to make!
How to make hard boiled eggs?
Bring water to a boil.
Lower eggs into water with a slotted spoon to keep from cracking.
Boil for 12 minutes.
Using the slotted spoon, remove the eggs into an ice cold bowl.
Run cold water over eggs until cooled.
Gently tap one end on the counter to help it crack.
Begin to peel the eggshell off.
How to make pesto deviled eggs?
Combine the yolks of the hard boiled eggs into a food processor. Add the remaining ingredients in the recipe listed below. Pulse until smooth and creamy. Adjust to taste with salt and black pepper.
Transfer the mixture to a small piping bag to pipe into the centers of the egg whites where the yolk once was.
Garnish with freshly chopped basil and pickled onions to serve.
How to make Mini Caprices Skewers Appetizer?
Layer the mini skewer sticks with 1-2 large fresh basil leaves, a cherry tomato, and a fresh mozzarella ball. Repeat until you've reached desired amount of caprese skewers.
Place in a single layer on a serving platter, then drizzle with balsamic glaze. Season with salt and black pepper to taste to enjoy!
How to make Prosciutto Melon Skewers Appetizer?
Slice the melon in half, then remove the seeds from the insides of both halves.
Using a a round melon ball disher, scoop out mini melon balls.
Layer the mini skewer sticks with a folded piece of thinly sliced prosciutto, a melon ball, and a fresh mozzarella ball. Add a 1-2 small fresh mint leaves, if desired.
Repeat until desired amount of skewers. Place in a single layer on a serving platter, then drizzle with honey.
Garnish with flaky sea salt to enjoy!
Can these appetizers be made in advance?
Yes, they can! They technically can be made up to 2 days in advance when well-covered and stored in the fridge. However, I recommend making the prosciutto melon skewers only up to 1 hour in advance, since the melon and prosciutto textures may change the longer it sits in the fridge.
Now, it’s time to grab our aprons and begin baking deliciousness! ’till next time! xxL
