Helpful Prep Ahead Tips when Entertaining

Prepare appetizers that need to be served warm well in advance, and reheat them as guests begin to arrive.

Choose air frying or oven baking to ensure appetizers retain their crispness, avoiding the microwave even if instructions suggest otherwise.

For dishes prone to sogginess when refrigerated, such as mini quiches or appetizers with crispy coatings, avoid baking them too far ahead.

Instead, prepare as much as possible earlier in the day, baking just in time for the first guest's arrival. Keep these appetizers warm in the oven as your family starts to arrive.

Recipe Tips that Help ME when Entertaining

Remember when preparing appetizers ahead of time to consider the texture of the food.

Some appetizers may become soggy or lose their crispness if prepared too far in advance.

Try to assemble or cook components that can be easily reheated or refreshed just before serving to maintain their optimal texture and flavor.
