1. Cheese friands with puff pasty
There's nothing like a crunchy puff pastry to kick off the festivities. Prepare little friands filled with a mixture of grated cheese (Emmental, Cheddar or, like us, Comté!) and a touch of cream for a melting result. Cut the puff pastry into squares, add your filling, fold over and brush with an beaten egg. Place in the oven, and you're done! :)

Serve with breadsticks, toast or crunchy vegetables. This recipe will bring a touch of sunshine to your winter dishes!
3. Spinach and goat's cheese puff pastry
It couldn't be easier with this recipe that will have your kids loving spinach:) Sauté fresh spinach, mix with crumbled goat's cheese and cream, top with rectangles of puff pastry and bake until golden brown!
4. Beet and arugula rolls
For a colourful touch on your table, these beet pancakes are sure to make a splash, stuffed as you wish, here we added ricotta and arugula!
5. Ricotta balls with herbs
These little wonders melt in your mouth and are perfect for a refined aperitif! Shape your ricotta into balls, roll them in sesame seeds, nuts, herbs or spices, and all you have to do is enjoy :)
6. Stuffed mushrooms
Select button mushrooms, remove stems and fill with a mixture of mozzarella, olives and sun-dried tomatoes. Place in the oven until the cheese is lightly gratinated. These bites are as delicious as they are quick to prepare! :)
