Best Sloppy Joe Hand Pies

While sloppy joes can be considered a handheld, our Sloppy Joe Hand Pies enclose the filling to keep the mess away. Plus, this version allows you to infuse whatever flavors you prefer. Like your sloppy joes spicy? Simply add a bit of sriracha to our sauce. The possibilities are up to you!

Peach and Ricotta Pizza

Four slices of Peach and Ricotta Pizza sit on a wooden background. They are orange and white in color and drizzled with a brown glaze.

What could be better than a combination of sweet and savory on the dough of your choice? The natural sweetness of peaches helps to bring out the soft flavors of the ricotta cheese. We also add prosciutto, balsamic glaze, and hot honey so you get the perfect mix of acidity, savory, sweet, and tangy. 

Crispy Mushroom Bundles with Spicy Mayo

Various crispy mushroom bundles sit on a brown plate beside a small bowl of spicy mayo beside two green cups and two forks.

These Crispy Mushroom Bundles are a delightful appetizer that elevates any occasion. We’ve taken tender seafood mushrooms, bundled them in nori, and fried them to golden perfection. The crispy exterior gives way to a juicy, flavorful interior, and the spicy mayo dipping sauce adds a fiery kick.

Mother’s Day Deviled Eggs

Deviled eggs often carry our holiday dinners and lunches with bites of hard boiled egg full of a creamy, zesty filling. We garnish our Mother’s Day Deviled Eggs recipe with bacon, pickled onions, and a sweet paprika that helps your egg yolk filling become the star of the show.

Bruschetta is utterly simple but that’s a part of why the end product is so successfully delicious. The orchestration of toasted bread, olive oil, garlic, parmesan cheese, balsamic glaze, and fresh-cut tomatoes on top is one that appeals to the senses. The different textures, juices, and flavors made this recipe oh-so-addictive for a snack or lunch staple. 

Aloo Tikki

This Indian street food is a crispy, potato and vegetable patty seasoned with coriander powder, turmeric, and garam masala. The result of Aloo Tikki is a vegetarian finger food that can be eaten on its own. But, you can always add chutneys like cilantro-mint or dipping sauces such as a scoop dahi (plain yogurt). 

Pigs in a Blanket with 3 Party-Perfect Dips

Pear and Goat Cheese Bites

If you’re looking for a finger food recipe that doesn’t take much prep but still turns out utterly indulgent, this one is for you. Flaky phyllo pastry is filled with a creamy goat cheese and sweet pear filling, then baked to golden perfection. Drizzled with a touch of honey, these bites are the perfect appetizer for a hot summer day.

Don’t let the smallness of these bite-sized Crab Cakes fool you, they pack an unforgettable punch. Plus, this recipe yields 40-44, 2 oz party-sized patties to ensure you can pack the table all night long. We do recommend using quality jumbo lump crab meat so your bites turn out as scrumptious as possible.
