Sometimes, you just need to get fancy with your appetizers, don’t you?

Now, as someone who likes to get fancy, but tends to be a little lazy when it comes to getting things done, I want fancy and easy all in one little flavorful package.

I love having people over in our house. Hearing the laughter of friends and family gathered around the table is worth the amount of dishes I have to do as a result, every single time.

Of course, I’m a little OCD when I have people over.

I want to have the house completely clean, the food out right when everyone arrives, and some sort of semblance of gracefulness in my demeanor.

That only happens when I am using recipes that don’t make me want to lie down on the kitchen floor and sob uncontrollably.

This is why I’m bringing you these tasty little pastry bites today. :)

It’s recipes like this that save my sanity and totally make a party at the same time.

Anything with puff pastry always is a hit, and it makes me infinitely happy when I can use frozen puff pastry from the store.

Now, I learned how to make puff pastry from scratch once… it was fun and took all day.

Ain’t nobody got time for that in the real world of schedules, work, and general craziness of everyday life.

When you serve these little pastries, everyone is going to think you are just the fanciest person that ever lived.

Golden brown pastries are topped with homemade avocado cream cheese, slices of smoked salmon, and a smattering of fresh herbs and capers to give a balance of savory, bright, and herbaceousness.

These little guys are ideal for any spring appetizer need that you have. It doesn’t matter if it’s for a bridal shower, Mother’s Day brunch, Easter, a spring dinner party, or a random weeknight where you just want to be fancy.

Each mouthful is light and bright, giving you a taste of springtime flavor in a two-bite snack.

What occasion will you be pinning this recipe to serve at later?
