If you host with any regularity, you likely have an arsenal of go-to appetizers that are easy to shop for, easy to prep, and guaranteed to get eaten. Today, we’ve got three more for your lineup! These appetizers from Table & Thyme Catering in Birmingham, AL, showcase springy ingredients like strawberries, asparagus, and fresh herbs, and we guarantee you’ll come back to them again and again, all season long.
Herby Feta Dip
Give tangy feta cheese, fresh herbs, garlic, and a squeeze of lemon a spin in the blender, and you’ve got yourself a homemade dip that’s borderline addictive. Serve with a colorful assortment of fresh veggies, crostini, or your favorite crackers — and if you’re really pressed for time, snag a tray of pre-cut veggies at the grocery. Get the recipe HERE.
Strawberry-Thyme Baked Brie
This springy take on baked brie calls for strawberry jam, fresh strawberries, thyme, crumbled pistachios, and honey. The beautiful presentation gives the impression that you labored meticulously over this dish, but all that’s required is a little assembly and a quick trip to the oven. (And you could totally try this with other types of berries and jam!) Get the recipe HERE.
Prosciutto-Wrapped Asparagus
Crispy prosciutto-wrapped asparagus is a classic, and it’s a great way to showcase peak-season asparagus as an appetizer or side. Of the three recipes on our list, this one requires the longest cook time, but since you can prep the asparagus as the oven preheats, it still comes together in under 30 minutes. Get the recipe HERE.
