Party Snacks : Finger Food Cases
(Hors d'Oeuvres)

Unusual and appetising snacks add a zing to any party and reflect upon the inventiveness and culinary skills of the host. Ready-to-use food cases are a valuable help especially as they avoid messiness if the fillings are slightly liquid or greasy, or are served hot. Fillings can be corn-and-cheese, paneer-and-peas, baked beans, chana masala, chicken-and-mayonnaise, Russian Salad and so on. Such food cases are also substantial bites and make wholesome eating. Baked food cases come in various shapes and sizes and are made with different kinds of pastry bases. Choose the ones that will suit you the most!

Barquettes
These are savoury, flat, boat-shaped (hence the name) shells that can be packed with different fillings.

Vol au Vent
(large & small)
These are round puff pastry cases ready for sweet or savoury fillings.

Tartlets
These are pastry cases, often with zig-zag edging, for different fillings.

Waffle
Though waffles are traditionally breakfast food, eaten hot with honey, jam, or marmalade spread, they can be easily adapted as cases for party snacks.

Party Pizza Bases
Bite-size pizza bases are just right to make a filling snack for all kind of parties.

All of the above items need to be ordered by the dozen and in advance. They can all be lightly baked (especially if the filling includes cheese) or warmed in a microwave before serving.
