Appetizers

French Quarter Cheese Spread

French Quarter Pecan Cheese Spread is an amazing appetizer for a Mardi Gras party or any get together. It?s so easy to make and consists of a cream cheese disc flavored with a little onion and garlic, topped with a pecan praline sauce. It’s the perfect sweet and salty combination and it is so easy to make in advance.

Muffaletta Dip

This Dip has all the flavors of the popular New Orleans Muffaletta sandwich. It’s perfect for game day or Mardi Gras and is best made ahead of time to allow the flavors to mingle.
Muffaletta Pinwheels

These muffaletta pinwheels are the perfect finger food for parties. Salvatore Lupo of Central Grocery in New Orleans is credited with inventing the muffaletta sandwich. Apparently he needed a way to use up the olives left at the bottom of a barrel. The saltiness of the meat and olives combine to make them an appetizer you just can’t stop eating.

Fried Crawfish Etouffee Balls

These Crawfish Balls are perfectly crisp on the outside and spicy on the inside. Dip them in some chipotle ranch for a match made in heaven.
