A crowd-pleaser that’s super easy.
We’re about to head into that whirlwind of activity called “the holidays.” From Thanksgiving through New Year’s, it’s going to be one long round of parties. And if you’re like me, you’ll find yourself offering to bring a little something for the buffet table.
But what should that something be?
My advice is to go with an appetizer. Any kind of main course that will really excite and impress all the guests is going to be a lot of work, but there are lots of crowd-pleasing appetizers that are really quite easy.
Here’s a perfect example: my Easy Creamy Prosciutto Cracker Appetizer. It’s just a cracker topped with seasoned cream cheese, a little curl of prosciutto, a drizzle of honey, and a sprinkling of parsley. It could hardly be easier to make, but it looks fancy and tastes delicious.
Pretty much any cracker will work for this. I went with Ritz, but you can use whatever kind you like best. No matter what you choose, the guests are guaranteed to gobble them up.
Easy Creamy Prosciutto Cracker Appetizer
Ingredients

1 tbsp minced garlic
1 1/2 tsp olive oil
3 ounces sliced Prosciutto
40 crackers ( I used ritz)
Salt and pepper to taste

Honey for drizzling
Instructions
1. In a small bowl, mix cream cheese, garlic, olive oil, salt and pepper together. Set aside. Cut prosciutto into small rectangles.
2. Spread a small about of mixture onto each cracker, until each cracker is thinly covered.
3. Roll each prosciutto up and place on top of the crackers.
4. Drizzle a small amount of honey over each and sprinkle with parsly.

Very tasty. However, we did the day before of the event and kept it in the fridge. All crackers were soggy. A total loss!
Corey says
Yeah, anything having to do with crackers should be done the day of.
Marie says
Everyone at the party loved them! Making them again for another gathering, this time using dairy-free cream cheese.
Pat says
Would it be ok to make them a couple hours ahead?
Corey says
Yep, but make sure to store them in the refrigerator 🙂
Mary Barbisan says
Loved the recipe. Just wondering if you can substitute the minced garlic for powdered garlic for those that don’t like raw garlic.
Corey says
Yes, that would work just fine 🙂 I would start with a little and work in a little more garlic powered to taste.
Andrea says
Recipe was great, making them again today but using regular cream cheese. My husband has a texture issue and the whipped he wasn’t a fan of.
