Yield Makes 50 to 60 hors d'oeuvres

Number Of Ingredients 3

50 to 60 tender young snow peas
1/2 pound St. Andre cheese, or Boursin or Boursalt
Fresh mint (optional)

Steps:

  • Remove stem end from snow peas, string them, and blanch in a large pot of rapidly boiling water for 30 seconds. Plunge them immediately into cool water to stop the cooking and preserve their beautiful green color.
  • With a small sharp knife, slit open the straight seam of each snow pea and pipe softened cheese into each one, using a small-tipped pastry tube, or spread with a small spatula. Garnish each pod with a small leaf of mint just poking out the top of the snow pea.

STUFFED SNOW PEAS



Stuffed Snow Peas image

These hors d'oeuvres are so elegant for bridal or baby showers. I always make them ahead. You can season the cream cheese with anything you like. I sometimes make them with plain cream cheese. They are time consuming- but worth it because the presentation is beautiful. Did I mention they taste great too? From the wonderful book 'Showers' by Beverly Clark.
