Weekly Menu Roundup: Finger Foods

None of these dishes would a meal make – unless, of course, you make them all at once and serve them with a bottle of wine.

For the caviar-haters among us (I’ll admit it; I’m so uncultured), try Beluga lentils instead in this protein-packed crostini recipe featured on My Vegetable blog.

Let’s see. You take a ball of fresh mozzarella, encase it in freshly made bread dough, sprinkle the top with something called Bacon Salt (which I’ll admit, I’ve never tried, but I want some immediately) and bake. I’ll take a baker’s dozen – each served in its own Bacon Bowl. Thanks, Two Bites!

Easter’s over. Purim, too. Still, I’d argue it’s impossible to tire of ethnic bread recipes featuring the prominent use of boiled eggs.

Got duck fat? This roasted potato recipe is for you.

Cap off your finger food feast with a victorious dessert, fork required: chocolate soufflé!
