Christmas Party Food

[Uberly]

Yes, you read that title correctly! And yes, I'm aware that we're in June! But...I like to start planning Christmas early, especially the food! Gives me plenty of time to try out recipes, freeze and reheat....all in preparation for the big event!

Sooo....what I was wondering, what party food could I make in advance, freeze and reheat, without it losing it's quality?

I'm going to try Delia's sausage rolls. Would like to have a go at some indian snacks....onion bhajis? Pakoras? Samsosas?

What about quiche? Would that freeze and reheat ok?

Any ideas or suggestions are warmly welcomed!

Merry Christmas :o

Yesss you are a girl after my own heart. I am tragically obsessed with Christmas .

WRT to quiches- I do a Spinach quiche (it is nice)

wholemeal pastry
Fresh spinach, steamed until it just wilts
Eggs
Grated strong cheddar
Grainey mustard, black pepper
Soft cheese with garlic and herb (I use full fat or half fat)

##############################################

I don't measure but a 300g of Philly with 3 eggs and about 4oz cheese in a large flan dish.

Keep an eye on it, the top can get burned.
It's a lovely solid quiche, we love it with beetroot and coleslaw.

And it freezes well too.

That quiche sounds amazing!

I knew I wouldn't be the only one obsessed with Christmas!! My DP thinks I'm mad!

Thanks for that quiche recipe. sounds really good. How long do you reckon it would keep in the freezer? And how would you reheat it - defrost first or reheat from frozen?

Thanks again :)

Have you made Delia's vegetarian sausage rolls? They are fab.

lol BIWItheBold....I know, I'm sorry! :o

No, haven't tried either the meat or veg sausage rolls by Delia yet! Will try them both :)
