for my son's christening. I need ideas for finger foods for brunch. Anyone have any?

I haven't made these tartlets yet, but they sound pretty easy (can make the phyllo stuff ahead of time) and you can fill them with whatever you want.

This trifle is delicious.

Hashbrown Egg Cups


¾ cup shredded Cheddar cheese (3 oz)

2
cups thawed shredded hashbrowns (from 20-oz bag)

¼ cup
chopped green onions
(4 medium)

½ teaspoon seasoned salt

1/8
teaspoon pepper

2
eggs

1/8
teaspoon Italian seasoning


Heat oven to 400°F. Spray 2 (2-cup) ovenproof bowls
or ramekins with cooking spray. Reserve 2 tablespoons of the cheese for
topping. In medium bowl, mix remaining cheese, the potatoes, onions, ¼
teaspoon of the seasoned salt and the pepper. Press mixture in bottom
and up side of each bowl, leaving indentation in center.

Bake
25 to 30 minutes or until golden brown and crisp. Remove from oven.
Break egg into center of each cup. Sprinkle with remaining ¼ teaspoon
seasoned salt, the Italian seasoning and reserved 2 tablespoons cheese.

Return
to oven; bake 8 to 12 minutes longer or until eggs are set and of
desired doneness.


Orange Glazed Blueberry Scones


Scones:

2 cups unbleached flour, plus more for
rolling berries

1 Tbsp baking powder

1
tsp salt

1/3
cup sugar

¼
cup unsalted butter,
chilled and cubed

¾ cup buttermilk or
cream

1 egg

1
pint fresh blueberries

Orange Glaze:

2
Tbsp unsalted butter

2
cups powdered sugar,
sifted

2 oranges, juiced and
zested


Scones:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees
F.

In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking powder,
salt and sugar; mix thoroughly. Cut in butter using 2 forks or a pastry
blender. The butter pieces should be coated with flour and resemble
crumbs.

In another bowl, mix buttermilk and egg together,
and then add to the flour mixture. Mix just to incorporate, do no
overwork the dough.

Roll blueberries in flour to coat,
this will help prevent the fruit from sinking to the bottom of the scone
when baked. Fold the blueberries into batter, being careful not to
bruise. Drop large tablespoons of batter on an ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake
for 15 to 20 minutes until brown. Cool before applying orange glaze.

Orange
Glaze:

To prepare Orange Glaze: combine butter, sugar,
orange zest, and juice over a double boiler. Cook until butter and sugar
are melted and mixture has thickened. Remove from heat and beat until
smooth and slightly cool. Drizzle or brush on top of scones and let
glaze get hazy and hardened.


I think the scones are a Tyler Florence recipe, but I'm not sure. I have a good recipe for Blueberry Coffeecake, too. Sorry I don't have more. I don't entertain much.
