I won a "French Cocktail Hour" Houseparty for June 4. I am going to serve the vendor's products (French wine and cheese) and would like to make an appetizer and/or dessert as well.

Are there any PC recipes that are "French" style that you would recommend? I won't have much time to prep as I work full time and the party is on a Thursday.

TIA -
 
One of our Brie recipes would be perfect. Or a pastry. There was one that we recently had in a season's best that was very simple. I'll try to find it and post it if no one beats me to it.

ETA: Some "pastry" ideas

Almond Puff Pastry with Glazed Plums
Warm Applle-Almond Pastry
Summer Lattice Pastry
Double Chocolate Mousse Cups
Profiterole Puffs

Do we have a Brulee recipe?


I can so see my French Chef friend making any one of these.

Thank you in advance for your suggestions!Hi there! Congratulations on winning the "French Cocktail Hour" Houseparty! That sounds like a fantastic theme for a party. As a pampered chef consultant, I have a few recipe suggestions that may fit your "French" style theme and can be prepared quickly.For an appetizer, I would recommend the "French Onion Tartlets" recipe. It's a classic French dish that is easy to make with our pre-made pie crusts and can be assembled and baked in under 30 minutes. It's also a great way to showcase our cheese grater and mandoline for slicing the onions.For a dessert, the "Easy Chocolate Mousse" recipe would be a perfect fit. It's a rich and decadent French dessert that can be made ahead of time and chilled in our prep bowls. Serve it in our mini trifle bowls for a beautiful presentation.I hope these suggestions help and that you have a successful and delicious party! Don't hesitate to reach out if you need any further assistance. Happy cooking!
