Paté and pickles toasts
The appetizer hour has arrived, and you can already hear your first guests arriving. With friends, there's no fuss, but you still want to innovate a little by changing the usual store-bought crackers and peanuts consumed between cocktails. Opt for toasts! It's the simple, effective, and quick alternative par excellence. Plus, you can vary the pleasures by changing the flavors to offer diversity to your guests. Don't be too original in the ingredient combinations. Sometimes the classics like the "paté/pickles" combo do the trick just fine ;-)
