Oh Look, Apetisers!


The deviled eggs were really good. The little canapes from brioche loaf cut-outs were OK, but not special. I served a variety of cheeses with toasts and jam. I just didn't feel up to an elaborate spread I guess. I did cut out little holes for olive slices in the canapes-that's festive, isn't it? I hope to be in bed by nine.


Happy New Year.


For the Deviled Eggs:


Hard boil eggs. Slice lengthwise and remove yolks to bowl. Add enough mayonnaise to get the consistency you like. Add a bit of chopped, dried onion, dry mustard, salt and pepper. Mix well and pipe into the empty whites. Sprinkle with paprika. Serve well chilled.


For the Caper Spread:


4 oz. cream cheese, softened

1 teaspoon capers, rinsed and chopped

4 tablespoons sharp hard cheese such as Romano

3-4 tablespoons sour cream


Mix together first three ingredients. Add the sour cream a tablespoon at a time until spreading consistency. Spread on soft bread that has been cut in cute shapes and make sandwiches.
