Vegetable Spring Rolls

Stuffed Mushrooms

Cheese Platter

Method

Vegetable Spring Rolls

1

Prepare the Vegetables

Julienne the carrot, cucumber, and red bell pepper into thin strips. Set aside.

2

Soak Rice Paper

Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for about 10 seconds until it softens, then lay it flat on a clean surface.

3

Assemble the Rolls

Place a few pieces of each vegetable, along with mint, cilantro, and lettuce, in the center of the rice paper. Fold the sides over the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom up. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.

4

Serve

Arrange the spring rolls on a platter and serve with soy sauce for dipping.

Stuffed Mushrooms

5

Preheat Oven

Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).

6

Prepare the Mushroom Caps

Clean the button mushrooms with a damp cloth and remove the stems. Set the caps aside and chop the stems finely.

7

Make the Filling

In a bowl, mix cream cheese, minced garlic, chopped mushroom stems, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

8

Stuff the Mushrooms

Fill each mushroom cap with the cream cheese mixture and place them on a baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil.

9

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is golden.

10

Serve

Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Cheese Platter

11

Prepare the Platter

On a serving board or platter, arrange the cubed cheddar cheese and sliced brie cheese.

12

Add Accompaniments

Garnish with grapes and chopped walnuts. Place a pack of crackers on the side.

13

Serve

Present the cheese platter to guests, encouraging them to mix and match the cheeses with grapes and walnuts.
