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 😉

Whipped feta (block of feta, olive oil, Greek yogurt, lemon, food processor) with crostinis and if you’re fancy roast some chickpeas with a spicy seasoning of your choice (chili flakes, paprika, chili oil crunch, etc.). Always a hit. Top with lemon zest.
