Appetizers Made Easy
More appetizers are eaten between Thanksgiving and New Years Day than all the rest of the months combined! OK, so I made that up, but the way appetizers are selling lately, it’s got to be true! So get appetizers made easy by Tony’s Market!
Tony’s Homemade Heat-n-Serve Appetizers
I used to make my own hot appetizers, but now we’re making my recipes at Tony’s so you can just heat and serve in 10-20 minutes. Selection varies and there are even more heat and serve appetizers to choose from. Take a peek of our homemade selection below…

Appetizer Serving Tips
Do everyone a favor; always serve appetizers when serving alcoholic drinks, making sure your guests get something in their stomach is the right thing to do! I start with a cheeseboard or something that can stay out for several hours safely (make your own or available at Tony’s), and then augment with one or more rounds of hot appetizers. Depending on your guests, allow 2-5 appetizers per person, or about 1 pound of food for every 4-6 people. If you are NOT serving dinner think ‘Heavy Appetizers’, 3-4 people per pound. And when there is no dinner, I also offer a nice salad to make sure the health conscious, celiacs, vegetarians and vegans in the group all get something good to eat.
