Bacon Date Blue Bites
Crunchy bacon bits browned in olive oil meet chopped Medjool dates swapped for dried apricots, mingling with toasted pecans instead of walnuts. Small pastry shells hold the smoky-sweet blend crowned with tangy feta replacing blue cheese. Quick bake melts the cheese just right, followed by a fresh sprinkle of thyme leaves, not parsley, for herbal lift. Serve warm with a citrusy amaretto cocktail or dry sherry on ice. Timing flexible. Golden bacon aroma, chewy fruit contrast, crunchy nuts, melty cheese textures combine impressively in a bite-sized workhorse appetizer.
Mini Ganache Tangerine Tarts
Bite-sized tarts with a crumbly cookie base and a creamy ganache infused with fresh tangerine juice, topped with quick candied tangerine slices. Uses cookie crumbs and white chocolate instead of traditional Oreo and semi-sweet. Microwave candying intensifies peel flavor and just-right chew. Assembly requires chilling for a clean slice; the tart shells develop a firm, crisp texture from browning. Balances tart and sweet in every mouthful. Technique-driven with timing flexibility to suit home ovens and microwave power differences.
