When coming up with a menu, it is important not to repeat yourself: choose dishes with different presentation and decoration. Below we present to your attention signature recipes for the festive table, which combines interesting and budget dishes.

Tartlets with chicken and mushroom filling

The menu for a festive table for 10 people usually includes several types of different appetizers. Tartlets will fit perfectly into it. This is a delicious portioned treat that can be complemented with a variety of fillings. For example, a very satisfying option is chicken, eggs and mushrooms with onions.

If necessary, you can increase the recommended amount of products by 2-3 times, so that each guest gets 2-3 tartlets with filling at once. The calorie content of such a treat will be approximately 267 kcal per 100 g.

And his BJU:

Composition of ingredients

For the dish you need to take:

• tartlets – 10 pcs.;
• chicken fillet – 370-400 g;
• fresh champignons – 280-300 g;
• onion – 1 pc.;
• mayonnaise – 3-4 tbsp. l.;
• boiled eggs – 3 pcs.;
• oil, salt.

If desired, instead of mayonnaise for such an appetizer, you can use some other sauce. To decorate a completely prepared treat, you should use fresh herbs. For example, a mixture of dill and parsley or only green onions. Eggs for this dish should be boiled in advance until the yolk is firm.

Step-by-step cooking process

The cooking process includes several stages:

1. Poultry meat can be cooked in advance. To do this, put the fillet in salted boiling water and cook for about 20-25 minutes. The chicken should be completely cooked inside.
2. Pre-boiled eggs should be cooled. It’s convenient to do this simply in cold water to make them easier to clean.
3. You will need to finely chop the onion and mushrooms.

4. Let the vegetable pieces be smaller than the chopped champignons.
5. In a heated frying pan with oil, brown the mushrooms and onions. They should become only slightly brown.
6. When the bird has cooled down, you will need to cut it as finely as possible. You need to do the same with boiled eggs. The end result will be small cubes of both product options.
7. All prepared components must be placed in a common bowl, added salt to taste and seasoned with mayonnaise (or other chosen sauce).

The resulting filling can be placed into tartlets in small portions. The latter are suitable for both waffle and shortbread.

What can I add?

To make the filling for the snack more beautiful and tastier, you can also add vegetables to it. For example, small cubes of salted/pickled cucumbers or sweet peppers of any color fit best into a dish.

How to serve a dish

When serving, a large dish should be covered with bright, crisp lettuce leaves. Place the filled tartlets on top and cover everything with chopped herbs. For example, finely chopped green onions.

Simple and delicious

Simple dishes stand out from the rest in that they are prepared simply and quickly. And also only those products that can be found in the refrigerator are used.

Potato nuts

The most simple dish with ordinary products. The number of ingredients corresponds to 20 dishes.

We will need:

• Small potatoes – 4 kg.
• Sunflower oil.
• Black pepper, salt.
• You can add garlic for flavor.

Cooking:

• The potatoes need to be washed well. To do this, use a stiff sponge or wire brush. Choose small potatoes so that they look visually like walnuts.
• After washing, take the potato and run it lengthwise with the tines of a fork. You don't need to press hard, just enough so that the skin comes off. You should get a watermelon made from potatoes.
• Heat the oil in a frying pan and fry the potatoes. You can check with a fork or toothpick; if it pierces easily, then it’s ready. Pepper and salt to taste, add garlic if you like.
• Approximate cooking time for one frying pan is 10-20 minutes.
• Ready, cool, decorate with herbs, serve.
• You can eat it with the skin on.

Small homemade pizza

This pizza can be served on a holiday table as an appetizer or as an accompaniment to the main course.

We will need:

• Any loaf (oval, round) – 2 pcs.
• Boiled sausage or milk sausages – 1 kg.
• Hard cheese – 500g.
• White onions – 3 pcs.
• Lemon mayonnaise - 5 tablespoons.
• Sweet ketchup – 5 tablespoons.

Cooking:

• Cut the loaf into equal slices. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lay out the loaf slices.
• Mix mayonnaise and ketchup in a deep bowl. If you don’t like the taste of the resulting mixture, you can add salt, pepper, and finely chopped garlic.
• Mode the onion into small half rings, then lightly squeeze so that the half rings fall apart.
• Cut the sausage or frankfurters into small cubes. You can take ham or smoked poultry.
• Grate the cheese on a medium grater. To prevent it from sticking, grease the outside of the grater with sunflower oil.
• Lubricate the slices of bread with the mayonnaise mixture and add onion half rings.
• Place sausage or sausage cubes on top and sprinkle with cheese.
• Place in a preheated oven for 15-20 minutes. As soon as the cheese is completely melted, take it out and let it cool a little.
• The dish is ready; before serving, you can decorate with herbs.

Three types of holiday rolls

To accurately please the tastes of all guests and feed a large company, you can prepare three types of hearty festive rolls with a variety of fillings at once. These are the three most popular options.

Among them is a recipe with red fish and cheese, with crab sticks and with ham, pickles. Each roll can be cut into 10 pieces so that everyone present at the party can try different versions of the delicacy. Interestingly, the basis of the snack is not lavash, but white bread.

Composition of ingredients

For the dish you need to take:

• toast white bread - 12 slices;
• green onion – 1 small bunch;
• red salted/smoked fish – 1g0-200g;
• soft curd cheese – 160 g;
• mayonnaise – 8-9 tbsp. l.;
• crab sticks – 8-9 pcs.;
• ham and cheese - 6-7 slices each;
• pickled gherkins – 3-4 pcs.

When choosing cheese, it is best to use cheddar for this dish. Any ham is suitable - both pork and poultry. You should choose chilled crab sticks so that the filling with them ends up juicy.

Step-by-step cooking process

The cooking process includes several stages:

1. For the first fish roll, it is especially tasty to use home-salted trout or salmon. Even regular pink salmon will do – it’s a more budget-friendly option. It is worth salting it with spices yourself in advance.
2. The selected fish must be removed from excess oil, and then cut into thin strips. To do this you will need a very sharp knife.
3. For all three roll options, you will need to take soft, fresh toast bread. You must immediately cut off all the crusts from it.
4. Cover a table or large cutting board with cling film. And on top, lay all the resulting fish pieces overlapping. Next, they need to be coated with mayonnaise. Each roll will use approximately 1/3 of the amount of sauce stated in the recipe.
5. Then you will also need to distribute fresh bread pieces (4 pieces) overlapping. Be sure to lightly roll them with a rolling pin on top. Bread seams must be processed with special care.
6. All that remains is to lay out a layer of cottage cheese (half) and cover the filling with green onions. The feathers must first be washed and finely chopped.

7. The film will help you carefully roll the workpiece into a roll. In this form, you need to leave the treat in a cool place for the whole night or at least for at least 5 hours.
8. For the second version of the roll, crab sticks cut into strips should also be laid out overlapping on the film. You can simply unwrap the product and spread it onto the coating. But for this you will need to choose very high quality crab sticks. 5-6 pieces will be enough. The rest should be finely chopped at random.
9. Curd cheese (remaining) must be mixed with mayonnaise (half of the remaining) and chopped fish product. This mass must be distributed onto the film with crab sticks. Next, the filling will be covered with bread and lightly rolled with a rolling pin.
10. The second rolled roll should be sent to the first one to cool and infuse.
11. For the third snack option, you should roll out the bread without crusts in advance with a rolling pin. They will be placed on top of the ham slices on cling film. On top you need to cover everything with cheese slices and mayonnaise.
12. All that remains is to place whole miniature gherkins on one edge of the filling, wrap the roll and also put it in a cool place.

Ready-made snacks will need to be removed from the films as carefully as possible and served.

How to serve a dish

Each roll can be cut into any number of pieces. The main thing is not to make them too thin. It is permissible to decorate the top of the rolls with any chopped herbs or sprinkle with bright spices.

There were 16 people at the festive table, usually there are more guests, but this year we decided to celebrate the birthday in a narrow family circle, because we had a little grandson with us, he is 7 months old and we decided not to risk it, because it is unknown how he will react to strangers . Well, it’s okay, my friends and I will definitely get together separately, they understand everything and are not offended.

We celebrated the anniversary at the dacha, it has already become a tradition, we always feel comfortable and cozy there, there is a place to roam, because no one has canceled the dancing))
