Quick Bites

This collection of recipes is for all the times you want a quick and tasty bite-— sandwiches for light meals or to nibble on while dinner is cooking, snacks to quell a vigorous appetite, savory toasts and flaky pan breads to serve with drinks. They can be used in lots of different ways. An assortment of colorful and tasty open-faced sandwiches can be offered as an hors d’oeuvre to friends before going out to dinner, for instance. Even if the rest of the meal is brought in from elsewhere, one or two of these little bites will bring a more personal touch to your table. If you’re serving leftovers or a very light dish, these nibbles will perk up the familiar food or round out a modest meal.
