Party fair


Hello, everyone! 


It is cold, dark and unforgiving out, so it is time to experiment inside. Today, I decided to celebrate my day off with a "party" lunch. I toasted thinly sliced French bread, and prepared a few new recipes for appetizers. The first appetizer was easy deviled eggs, and the second - a chickpea-avocado spread. 


I happened to have all the ingredients in my refrigerator or the pantry. The toast was delicious with the avocado spread and a piece of roasted red pepper on top (I had a few peppers frozen from a jar). The eggs were spicy and a bit salty (due to the feta cheese). It was great to be inside on a frozen January day and enjoy a slow lunch.

Here are the two recipes:

Easy deviled eggs
Ingredients:
hard boiled eggs
crumbled feta cheese
chicken wing sauce (mine was from the dollar store)

Directions:
Peel the eggs; slice into two halves each egg. Carefully take out the yolks and mix with crumbled feta cheese and the spicy chicken wing sauce. Use any proportions that please you. Place the yolk mixture back into the egg whites, enjoy!

Garbanzo-avocado spread
Ingredients:
one can of garbanzo beans (15 oz)
two ripe avocados
the juice from 1/2 lemon
olive oil
salt
crushed garlic

Directions:
Mash the avocado and the garbanzo beans with a fork, add the salt, garlic, lemon juice and oil to taste. Mix and enjoy!
