Party season once again, and many homes will surely be open to welcome family and friends to celebrate the holidays. Usually, I find myself stressing out on what to serve our guests whenever we host get-togethers at home. I want to keep things simple and hassle free, especially for me. I'm really just a lazy cook. More often, we just order so it's fast and convenient. On top of delivered meals, I add one or two finger foods to complete the buffet.
For this post, I made an even simpler variation using our favorite cheese spread, Cheez Whiz!
I always try to ask my boy and girl to help me in the kitchen, especially when I need to assemble a lot of servings. This cheesy hors d'oeuvres is so simple that you can leave the kids to do everything.
CHEEZY PARTY APPETIZERS
1 bottle (220g) Cheez Whiz Pimiento
1/2 cup diced ham (any brand of cooked ham - cold cuts / sliced, used for sandwich)
36 plain crackers or melba toast
parsley, finely chopped (optional)
To prepare:
Dice the sliced ham, as small or as chunky as you want
Pour and scoop out the Cheez Whiz in a bowl
Mix everything
Spread on each cracker
(My kids didn’t want to mix with parsley, so it’s not in the photos.)
It's that simple.
Serve on a nice platter or tray. Devour!
Remember, you don't have to spread everything in one go. Use a small dish or ramekin for a portion of the ham and cheese spread and lay out assorted crackers to allow guests to dip or spread on their own. It's gonna be a hit among guests, for sure. This ham and Cheez Whiz spread is also perfect as a dip for chips, chopped fresh veggies like carrots, turnips, and celery sticks. Cheese anything!
For storage, you can put it in air-tight containers to serve anytime, or pack in nice bottles/jars with crackers then give out to friends.
Scrumptious, versatile, spreadable, festive. I can chow down 10 crackers in one sitting. =) Spread some cheezy love this holiday season with this easy peasy Cheezy Party Appetizers.
Try it for your noche buena tomorrow! Merry Christmas!
