Let's face it. Theme parties are fun.
And Sunday's 85th Academy Awards show gives us good reason to indulge -- it's the Super Bowl of show business.
For a food presentation your guests won't forget, we have the perfect cast of award-winning snacks. Our food party picks will keep your guests satisfied as they watch all the glitz and glamour of the Oscars.
For inspiration, we took a cue from some of this year's film nominees.
"Silver Linings Playbook," a best picture nominee, is set in Philadelphia so we opted for a version of the iconic Philly cheese steak sandwich. The main character of the sandwich is thinly sliced and lightly seasoned beef, typically rib-eye, which is chopped using two metal spatulas while cooking. Grilled onions and a mess of cheese are added, all served on a roll. Our adaptation is a slider that features sweet caramelized onions and peppers, topped with provolone served on slider buns.
Two other recipes were developed with "Les Mis?rables" in mind. This film is set in France, where pastries, baguettes and Brie are popular. In our Brie Bites recipe, Brie is tucked in buttery puff pastry and topped with candied walnuts. Our crostini selection is simply lightly toasted French baguette slices topped with seasoned ricotta and crunchy apple with a drizzle of honey and chopped walnuts.
So go ahead and let our recipes set the stage for a memorable evening -- on the sofa, enjoying Oscar-worthy fare.
