Each season presents a challenge for caterers to include unique menu items that incorporate the flavors that fit that particular time of year. With fall right around the corner, now is the time to start crafting your seasonal menu. Here we take a look at ten must-have recipes for your fall catering menu.
Smokey Pumpkin Deviled Eggs
“These super cute deviled eggs make the perfect appetizer. A simple flick of the fork makes the pumpkin ridges, and cornichons make the stems. But it's the smoked paprika (our new favorite spice) that make them irresistible.”
Caramel Apple Brie
"Baked brie with a fun fall twist."
Penne With Butternut Squash And Goat Cheese
"The heat of the pasta will melt the goat cheese, and a little bit of pasta water will thin out the sauce as much as you like it. Toasted walnuts add crunch to balance the soft roasted squash that's tossed in."
Seared Scallops With Brown Butter and Lemon Pan Sauce
"Juice lemons. Spoon out capers. Heat pan. Cook scallops. Make sauce in the same pan. Serve."
Avocado Goat Cheese Truffles
"Give guests the VIP treatment with luxurious truffles you can make in your own kitchen. The goat cheese is mild, and red pepper heats up each bite just a bit. Crackers are the perfect accompaniment."
Creamy Tuscan Chicken
"Be sure to have some crusty bread on hand because you're going to want every drop of that sauce."
Carbonara Baked Potatoes
"Enjoy your two favorite comfort foods in one when you make these delicious carbonara-baked potatoes."
Cauliflower Mac 'n' Cheese
"This staple serves ample creamy gooeyness, while a stealthy vegetable (puréed cauliflower!) provides a vitamin and fiber boost."
Slow-Cooker Smoky Pulled Chicken
"It's slow cooker season all year round - especially with this light and bright smoky pulled chicken breast recipe."
Salted-Butter Apple Galette with Maple Whipped Cream
"This laid-back apple galette got a standing ovation during tastings, thanks to its crisp crust and the ideal sweet-salty balance."
Stuffed Pepper Soup
"I was talking about stuffed peppers with the other cooks at the restaurant where I work. We decided to mix similar ingredients for a soup. Customer response was overwhelming!"
