Aren't the Angels on Horseback a liver hors d' ouvres? I might be wrong
but my memory of the beloved 'Two Fat Ladies' program seems to suggest puff
pastry and liver. I'm sure I'm wrong but it sounded good when they were
making it. I miss them.

Insert the tortilla circles into the mini muffin pan and make cups

the cups; top with salsa, shreded cheese and sour cream

Cool idea! Sounds like a keeper to me! I'd season the hamburger,
though.

It's the little cups that are the key...make them out tortillias, phyllo
pastry, puff pastry, bread (toast points) or wonton wrappers...whatever.
Add whatever filling you want...think taco, chocolate pudding,
cheeseball/log mix, kim chee, salsa, ham and cheese,turkey
stuffing/dressing, deviled ham or chicken, a egg, shrimp or tuna salad mix
(you get the idea). So get a 3 inch cookie cutter and do it...you all have
one of the above mentioned recipes you'd like done this way.

I made stuffed crescent rolls for a party a few months ago. I had a recipe
somewhere for a cream cheese pastry dough, but in the few days before the
party I was running out of time (40 people attending, 3 from out of state, one
from out of the country and I was running to the airport over and over) so I
decided 'what the hell' and just bought many cans of crescent rolls and used
those.

I apologize for no measurements, I never write these things down when I make
them so I never remember. I just wing it anyway.

spinach and feta filling
thaw frozen spinach, mix in crumbled feta (I'm a huge huge fan of egyptian
feta, sometimes called double cream feta), chopped garlic and dill

curried veggie
chop veggies into little pieces (this is important, big chunks of anything
won't work), I used green beans, snow peas, carrots, broccoli, red bell
pepper, green onion, jalapeno. Heat a little oil, add about 1/4 tsp brown
mustard seeds and 1/2 tsp cumin seeds and heat til they pop, add veggies,
throw in garam masala (or your favorite curry powder) and cook veggies until
bright. I added about a tablespoon of water and covered the pan for about a
minute or two

artichoke and ricotta
Trader Joe's makes this artichoke paste something or other in a jar (I don't
have any more so I'm not very helpful with the name, sorry), I mixed that with
equal amounts of ricotta, added lemon zest, salt, pepper, and penzey's greek
seasoning. I let it sit in the fridge and then added some bread crumbs to
thicken it up.

Take your crescent rolls and cut each one in half starting at the long end
point (you know, so you have two long, thing triangles). Add your filling,
roll, bake according to the instructions on the tube.

I felt kind of lame for using the crescent rolls for such a nice occasion, but
they really helped in a pinch and people loved them.

I also made crostini for the party and topped them as such

chopped roma tomatoes, basil, capers, olive oil, salt, pepper and fresh
mozzarella

chopped apricots tossed with a little sugar, cinnamon, cardamom, fresh grated
ginger and a tiny pinch of cayenne, with a spanish queso de cabra cheese
(semi-firm, wonderful goat cheese flavor, I always pair it with apricots to
rave reviews)

mix 1/4 cup maple syrup (my boss makes his own from the sugar maples on his
property, yum) with 2 tbl olive oil, cinnamon, ginger, cardamom, coriander,
cumin, salt and pepper. Glaze a half salmon (is that a side of salmon??).
Roast in very hot oven to make glaze sticky good. Mix one tub mascarpone
cheese with the zest of one lemon and a little lemon juice. Spread mascarpone
mixture on crostini, put chunks of salmon on top. At first I was not so sure
about the maple sweet paired with the lemon (even though I made the damned
thing up myself) but this one was everyone's favorite.

What did they use as a filling Nancy?

I'm not Nancy either - but earlier in this thread I posted a website with a
recipe I lifted from Allrecipes called sausage flowers which filled the
wontons beautifully. It bakes in cupcake tins.

How about scallops wrapped with bacon?

Get sea scallops (the smallest available, they can be quite large) and
be sure to blanche the bacon first to get rid of the fat. Boil the
bacon strips you will be using in water. Otherwise, since scallops
cook very quickly, you will end up with nicely-cooked scallops wrapped
in raw bacon! I've found that broiling works well.

Heather,

These sound great. Thank you. I think the canned crescent rolls were a
great choice. I've eaten those and they are very good.

Besides.... Bill Clinton taught us, "Don't ask; don't tell." AND, if you

LOL! I'm not sure why people bash canned crescent rolls. Granted, I don't
think I want to read the ingredients list on the tube. But they bake up
nice and flaky, and really, it's just hors'doeuvres.

Since you ask, no :-) It's "hors d'oeuvres".

The easiest I know: Spread some cream cheese on slices of ham, season
as wished (pepper, paprika...), roll up tight, wrap tightly in
clingfilm, put in the fridge for an hour. Then unwrap and cut into
thick slices.

Other than that:
- Dried prunes (pitless), marinated for a couple of hours in Port,
wrapped in bacon and baked for 5 to 10 min. in the oven.
- Slices of rye bread, spread cream cheese on, top with smoked salmon,
cut into small squares, top with fresh dill.
- Storebought puff pastry dough, raw, 2 sheets. Cut sheets into
rectangles. Cook some frozen spinach, drain well, chop roughly, spread
on dough, top with crumbled feta cheese, top with a second rectangle,
seal, cook in oven until nicely brown (10 min. or so.)
