ISO light appetizer

I'm making brunch for Mother's Day and realized that my menu is pretty heavy.  I'm preparing everthing thing I can the day before because I'm running a race the morning of so I figured casseroles were the best way to go.

Can you suggest something light as an appetizer to add to my menu? I like to offer more than one app and I'm stumped. 

Here's what I have so far.

Appetizer:

Crostini with Brie and homemade spiced bluberry honey butter

Meal:

Spinach, gorgonzola, apple salad

Brunch enchilada's

Cherry french toast casserole

Scrambled eggs with onions and peppers

Dessert:

My mother is bringing a cake, I believe

Thank you!

Maybe put out some vegetables and dip AND a fruit platter. If you're looking for a dip for that, I love a jar of marshmallow fluff mixed with fresh citrus juice to taste. I've done orange with vanilla bean and a lime with a little salt. Both were delish.

Blend together one jar of marshmallow cream with a brick of cream cheese with an electric mixer - makes an EXCELLENT fruit dip.

Melon skewers maybe....thread watermelon, cantaloupe and honeydew melon on skewers with alternating colors.

I like the melon skewer idea.  They're usually pretty popular.  If you want to make it more savory, you could put melon with mozzarella and prosciutto.

vjcjenn1:  The brunch enchilada recipe has some eggs in it but they are mixed with half and half and makes more of a sauce than an egg filling if that makes sense. You are right though, the menu is leaning towards breakfast items.

 

I love the idea of mellon skewers.  I may do that as it will be nice and refreshing especially after running a race.
