    Back in Europe, my mum would always prepare delicious new New Year’s Eve appetizers, she had a great repertoire of amuse bouche ideas.

    She would usually make canapé with caviar or salmon and my dad would take out the apéritif and the champagne or Prosecco.

    The little lucky charms such as marzipan pigs, chocolate coins, horseshoes, lucky clover, and red mushrooms would have to wait until after midnight.

    Then we would exchange wishes, enjoy the goodies and take in the rest of the night, always with various party foods somewhere nearby!

    Since I can remember, my grandparents would honor us with their presence and we would celebrate Silvester night together.

    We would wander out into the icy snow-covered garden with our cold drinks at midnight.

    While looking at the few fireworks in the sky munching on delicious amuse-bouche.

    We would play a round of Scrabble and enjoy another load of quick and delicious bite-sized appetizers until we would finally go to bed exhausted but happy.

    📕 What are Amuse Bouche?

    Amuse Bouche is French and means, directly translated, to entertain the mouth.

    With that, they mean to entertain the senses with a small bite-sized appetizer.

    There is another similar word that means the same thing, Amuse gueule (which however sounds a bit rude as with gueule we mean an animal's mouth), but you do better sticking to using the word amuse-bouche.

    Amuse-bouche are tiny party foods that are meant to entertain the crowd before the main meal on a special occasion.

    So you can also call them Hors d’Oeuvres as well.

    Amuse bouche ideas that are the most popular, are very flavorful or eye-catching and super creative at the same time.

    You should be able to hold the food bites with one hand, hence tiny mini food appetizers.

    They can be canapés (bread or crackers topped with savory food), balls/croquettes, skewers, deviled eggs, savory cookies, food wrapped in bacon, etc.

    Amuse bouche ideas can be endless, as you will see further below.

    In fact, you will be surprised what can be turned into savory Hors d’Oeuvres!

    Nowadays an amuse bouche should not only taste good but amaze the crowd.

    The beautiful food decoration and thoughtfulness of the amuse-bouche towards a special theme or occasion is important.

    That is why I thought it would be nice to share a collection of little amuse-bouche ideas.

    My food bloggers shared their ideas with me and I handpicked the best amongst them.

    These Amuse bouche ideas can be prepared for any occasion, all year round.
