wedding reception

Do you have access to an oven where you're going? If so... Bruchettas!!

They are ALWAYS a hit and so easy. We made a big tray of them on Friday when we had .Sarah and her dad for dinner, they all disappeared.

Just found this amazing easy little recipe.
It's called Tortine con pollo e spinaci. it is only for 4 people so adjust accordingly.

You will need

4 squares of pasta sfoglia about 12 cms
120 gr mozzarella
35 gr fresh spinach leaves
1 large chicken breast
3 tbsp of olive oil

heat the oven to 250. while oven is heating heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a pan and add chicken sprinkle with salt and pepper. cook the chicken breast (brown the exterior) about 5 minutes or so each side. remove and cut breast into 8 slices.
slice the mozzarella (or grate if you prefer)
place the pasta sfoglia on a cookie sheet covered with wax- paper.
split the spinach leaves in 4 equal parts. place ontop of pasta sfoglia.
place 2 pieces of chicken onto of each spinach bed and then add mozzarella ontop of the chicken.
now brush the exposed pasta sfoglia with remaining olive oil.
place in oven and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the pasta sfoglia is lightly browned and mozzarella is melted.

Let cool and then serve.

for a different flavor add some squash. Simply slice squash is small slices and put in oven with some olive oil. Bake for about 15 minutes until they are crispy and place beneath the spinach as a first layer ontop of the pasta sfoglia.


I will keep searching but this looked so good and simple too.

Oh Man!
Great idea guys! All of them. I will print this thread and keep when I talk with the bride to be.
I was thinking bruschetta too.... Hopefully I'll have an oven at least.... or a grill of some kind.
Michelle, those profitterole piccanti sound good. How do you make them.
Insalata di Riso is a great idea!
thanks yall!

I am going to type up and scan the pics of a few nice recipes I found. I will do it up in word and then I can either post them here or email then to you. Whatever you prefer. Look for them around the end of the day.

Fruits are always a good thing to have and veggie trays...I know those are boring and you probably already thought of them...I just wanted to post and say hi because I miss you on here! (Not that I am on here a ton...some lately, though!) Sounds like fun, I hope the reception is on a good weather day!

One thing I saw on Food TV was bread sticks wrapped in panchetta. You could also do fruit skewers with an easy caramel dipping sauce. The fruit is so colorful and looks great on a plate.
