A NESTed Affair (Gourmet homemade appetizers are a hit at Eagles Nest Winery!!!)

Appetizers & Wine .. A Nested Affair..

Ever wanted to spend a quality evening with your spouse, but have no time to cook?

Here at Eagles Nest Winery & Cottage, we enjoy entertaining our friends & family.  It’s a special way for us to say THANKs for all their hard work.

We also have a number of friends from out of town that are driving through and want to visit the winery.

We used to keep pre-made appetizers on hand in the freezer from CostCo.  It only takes a couple of minutes to make and you have something quick and easy provide friends to eat.  The only problem, the appetizers are good but not that great!

Instead of panicking, we now stroll over to your freezer and choose from several home-made appetizers made weeks ahead of time. You can still be the hostess with mostess but relax and enjoy the social event without slaving in the kitchen. No need to thaw, just place the home made appetizers in the oven add a bottle of Eagles Nest Wine and you have the perfected NESTed affair with family and friends.

You spare so much time, that we are able to light the candles on the deck, get out dishes and napkins for the appetizers and open a bottle of Eagles Nest Wine.

How do we create this NESTed Affair?

1. Make Appetizers according to instructions
2. Reduce baking time by 50%
3. When Appetizers cool, place in Refrigerator to cool down quickly and individually
4. Once completely cool, place in freezer bags. Note, the appetizers will not stick to each other.
5. We freeze each different appetizer in separate bags.
6. When friends and family arrive, pull out appetizers and bake until done.

We have had total success with every frozen appetizer made.  When the recipe calls for tomatoes, add.  When you bake after frozen, they taste FRESH.
