25 Hors D'oeuvre Recipes to Welcome Party Guests - Country Living

Ren Fuller

One of the best ways to make a gathering feel like a true party? Whip up a few hors d'oeuvres. Whether you're whetting appetites before a big holiday dinner or simply serving cocktails in the back yard, having a few small, snackable foodstuffs somehow elevates an event into—well, an event.

Fortunately, hors d'oeuvres don't have to be difficult to make. (The phrase, in French, literally means "outside of work.") Some can be assembled in as little as five minutes, or less! Here are more than two dozen of our favorite hors d'oeuvres for all seasons, from the extra fancy to the ultra casual.

2 Red Hots & Spanish Peanuts

3 Creamy Avocado Dip with Scallions

Hovering just between hors d'oeuvre and appetizer, these deviled crabs, served in the shell, work as a sit-down course, or as a stand-up food served with a small fork.
