Savory Cheesecake Recipe Bites, Perfect for the Party

Have a wonderful New Year’s Eve. Eat a favorite food. Enjoy a cocktail. Kiss a loved one. If you’re looking for an easy party finger food, look no further. Make savory cheesecake bites, flavored with green onion and encrusted with potato chips.

This is a twist on my former recipe for Savory Cheesecake crusted in potato chips.  I’ve received lots of emails about it telling me how good it was, and it’s soon going to be in my top ten posts of all time, so I feel good encouraging you to make them.

Bite Sized Savory Cheesecake Bites are perfect to take a to a Party.

These are  bite size, made in a mini muffin tin, which is so perfect to take to a party.  No mess, no crackers needed. Guests can just pop them in their mouth.  I think people more and more appreciate bite sized finger foods.  So much easier to eat, and each bite remains appealing to the eye.

In addition to taking the savory cheesecake bites, I’ll be bringing these mini meatballs in a pastry shell with a savory blueberry compote and the world’s best flourless chocolate cake, made famous at the Zuni Cafe.

We are going to end the year with small bites of delicious food, and a few bottles of wine, knowing we can walk home. I hope you plan to stay safe, call a cab, have a designated driver, and watch out for the other guy.

I’ve picked a few of my favorite bites for tomorrow night. Tell me, what was your best bite of the year? Did you make it, or have it somewhere?
