7 Simple Appetizers and Desserts

Sometimes, light appetizers can be served before the main course, and after the main course come the desserts and sweets. But very often, cooking the main course takes so long that there’s no time left for anything else.

5-Minute Crafts is sharing recipes for simple appetizers and desserts. You can make them for large gatherings or a cozy evening with friends.

1. A mini-calzone with cheese and vegetables

1. Take some dough, roll it, and cover an ice tray with it. Push the dough into each hole with your finger.

2. In 1/3 of the holes, put pieces of feta cheese and a half of a cherry tomato, and in another 1/3, put some mozzarella and a leaf of basil. And in the rest, put a piece of salty salmon and a pinch of grated cheddar cheese.

3. Cover the dough containing the filling with another layer of dough. Make the layers stick to one another.
