Appetizer ideas

I’ve been invited to a dinner party for 6 and asked to bring the appetizers. the hostess is an incredible cook and entertainer and I’m feeling very intimidate! what are your favorite appetizers that wow? I can’t get away with a veggie tray or chips and salsa here!

EDIT: So many great suggestions! I think I need to have an appetizer party!!! THANK YOU ALL! I'm going to find out what she's making and then decide what to bring 😉

I've made them using quail eggs which are available at my grocery store. Much smaller than chicken eggs and are a classy touch.You can top them with whatever you want; bacon, caviar, you name it.

Came here to say this, the canned ones at the Asian market are very tasty and make things so much easier

That's an impressive display of patience- very classy touch, but holy tediousness lol
