What are hors d’oeuvres?
Finger foods are often served with other appetizers before dinner to whet your appetite. All finger foods are appetizers, but not all appetizers are finger foods.
When foods are small, individual portions, I classify them as finger food appetizers. Ideally, they can eat 1-2 bites without causing any mess. No sticky fingers, no drips or crumbs. While plates and utensils are available, finger food can easily be eaten without them.
We’ve compiled a list of appetizers that are also categorized as finger foods, including meatless options, mini versions, and our favorites!
planning tips
Deciding how many appetizers to make depends on the occasion and how you plan to serve it.
before dinner: Plan to have 3-4 appetizers per person.
Appetizer only events: Prepare enough appetizers for guests to eat 10-12 pieces during a 2-hour party, then add 4-5 pieces per person per hour after that. Toothpicks often make finger foods easier and more hygienic to eat, but they are not required.
Decide on different dishes: Deciding how many different dishes to make depends on the number of people you want to serve. Try to choose dishes with different colors and textures, hot and cold, protein filling and production bases, while making sure the flavors of the different dishes complement each other.
- If you have 10 or fewer guests, plan to have 3 different appetizers. Add another appetizer option for every 8 guests.
