Pâté Encrusted: breads and pastry serving styles

Crispy, crusty bread and light, crumbly pastries are ideal vessels for rich, creamy Alexian Pâté. It's easy to create hand-held Pâté delights to serve at your upcoming holiday party!

Mushroom Pâté Pastry/Croissant
Simple to prepare and full of rich Pâté flavor, simply roll out store bought puff pasty dough into individual pieces. Take a spoonful of our Forrest Mushroom Pâté and spread it over the dough. Then roll up the pastries and bake at 375 for about 12-15 minutes, until golden brown and crispy.

Gourmet Toasted Bread Cups
Using either phyllo dough or roller pin flattened sliced bread, bake pastry in a cupcake tin at 375 degrees until crispy. Once the cups are baked, let them cool for a few minutes, then fill them up with Alexian flavor. These little cups can be filled with an assortment of pâtés and vegetables; try filling with sautéed onions and Campagne pâté for an easy holiday party appetizer. For another bread cup option, try filling with a scoop of Sage & Pork Mousse and topping with chopped red bell peppers.

Easy Beef Wellington
Beef Wellington is a dish normally served in restaurants, but this dish is surprisingly easy to make at home when Alexian Pâté is a main ingredient. Juicy beef fillet is smothered in our wonderful Campagne Pâté, then coated with earthy mushrooms and wrapped in flaky dough! Serve this gourmet treat as an entree at your next holiday party.
