Love at First Bite: Tiny Apps Take the Stage

These tiny apps will be crowd-pleasers at your wedding cocktail hour.

Bestselling cookbook author Maegan Brown is sharing appetizer inspo straight from her book, Brilliant Bites ($22.50 on Amazon), that you'll definitely want to share with your caterer.

Charcuterie Board Cracker Bites

“Charcuterie is the queen of any party, and you can test out that theory with these bites that are easy to grab and graze on,” says Brown on these bite-sized boards. Spread each cracker with sticky fig jam and stack with your favorite meat-and-cheese combo and garnishes.

Chopped Kale Caesar Salad Cups

Take your salad to-go with these poppable salad apps. “The crispy Parmesan cups elevate the experience, complementing the fresh crunch of the kale,” adds Brown.

Elote Bites

Mexican street corn is always a crowd-pleaser, and this version keeps the mess at a minimum. Charred baby corn are slathered with a slightly sweet mixture of mayo, garlic and lime and topped with lots of queso fresco and fresh cilantro.

Sushi Taco Bites

“These bites are a fantastic fusion of two of my favorite foods: sushi and tacos!” exclaims Brown.

Steak Frites Bites

No reason to wait until the main course to serve up steak. This twist to the classic combo is guaranteed to be a hit with guests.

Pick up a copy of Brilliant Bites for more (75 to be exact!) delicious bite-sized doot and drink recipes made with simple and easy-to-find ingredients.
