Growing up, my family celebrated Christmas and Hanukkah. My mom is Jewish and my dad lapsed Catholic, but my parents wanted my brother and I to experience the best of both winter holidays. I remember picking Hanukkah presents out from under the Christmas tree and, on the rare occasions that Hanukkah and Christmas intersected, feeling doubly lucky that Santa had visited our house. Our holidays were also pretty non-denominational. We didn’t go to church or synagogue and celebrations generally meant an abundance of good food. On Christmas Eve, we would always have appetizers instead of a more traditional holiday meal. For the past two years, this is a tradition that Brad and I have picked up with his family. If you’re celebrating Christmas Eve with small plates, bites or snacks, here are some of my favorite recipes to add to a Christmas Eve appetizer menu.

How do you begin your meal properly without taking up using appetite real estate that would be better saved for the main event? We love the idea of serving a simple cheese platter or an Italian charcuterie and cheese board, but if you want to keep it simple, a wheel of warm brie with wild mushrooms is a crowd pleaser. Chef Daniel Boulud, owner of 7 restaurants in New York City and 6 in national and international destinations, shared a version of this with Food & Wine. His version use a fancy French cheese and exotic mushrooms, but ours is a simplified recipe inspired by the chef that anyone could easily whip up at home. Use whatever mushroom medley you can find in your grocery store and an 8-ounce cheek of brie cheese, which typically run under $10.
