5 Last-Minute Thanksgiving Appetizers
Transform a staple Thanksgiving side—green bean casserole—into a 15-minute appetizer before the feast, pair brie cheese with cranberry sauce for an easy starter or sauté sausage, mushrooms and broccoli rabe and use as a topping over toast with a creamy ricotta cheese for an app you’ll want to make again and again.
Broccoli Rabe and Sausage Tartine
The bold broccoli rabe in this appetizer is a great match for chili flakes but can use a little balance to subdue the peppery heat, like a creamy ricotta cheese. Autumn mushrooms add an earthy complexity to the medley, creating harmony on a piece of toast.
