8 Savory Bites for Your New Year’s Eve Spread
Smoked Salmon-Asparagus Tarts
A savory take on puff pastry, Smoked Salmon-Asparagus Tarts are perfect for any meal, from a light and flaky replacement for your favorite lox-topped everything bagel in the morning to a colorful appetizer for guests or family. The rectangular shape shows of layers of gorgeous lamination, and people will think you spent all day making them—but don’t worry, your secret is safe with us.
Camembert Straws
These Camembert Straws are the perfect savory addition to any party! Soft and creamy, Camembert is a surface-ripened cow’s milk cheese with a thin edible rind. It was first made in the late 1700s in Camembert, Normandy, in northern France. For this recipe, we used the earthy Hervé Mons Camembert, a cheese that’s delicately salty and smooth.
Kolache Dough
This base dough will work for both your sweet and savory desires. Easy and epically fluffy, you’ll wonder what took you so long to try your hand at this classic Czech-Texan pastry.
Sage, Asiago, and Pecan Savory Shortbread Coins
This cheesy, herbaceous take on classic shortbread will be the MVP of your next charcuterie board. Asiago cheese imparts a salty zing that’s elevated by the pine-like notes of sage, resulting in a savory coin reminiscent of the flavors of Provence. Pair with a dry white or robust red wine and a few slices of prosciutto, and you’re in business.
Savory Cheese Tartlets with Spicy Tomato Jam
These savory cheese tartlets are the perfect appetizer for all your holiday festivities. The delicious blend of nutty BelGioioso® Parmesan Cheese and mildly sweet BelGioioso® Fresh Mozzarella Cheese creates a soft texture and creamy flavor in the tartlet crust, resulting in a buttery, cheesy base for the sweet heat of the jam. A final topping of mozzarella adds an irresistibly melty finish.
Black Pepper, Cheddar, and Pecan Scones
Sharp cheddar cheese pairs perfectly with the nuttiness of pecans in these Black Pepper, Cheddar, and Pecan Scones. So delicious, they don’t even need a glaze.
Savory Fig, Black Pepper, and Cheese Rolls
Masquerading as cinnamon rolls, these salty, cheesy, slightly sweet rolls will have you wondering why you didn’t venture into the world of savory rolls sooner. The rich, fluffy dough of these Savory Fig, Black Pepper, and Cheese Rolls is enriched with sour cream and spiced with a sprinkle of pepper for a tender bite with a kick.
Sweet Egg Tarts
We kept our Sweet Egg Tarts simple and classic to the Hong Kong formula. A tender pâte sucrée crust holds a glistening custard filing.
