The OG (Old Goat) Aged Goat Cheese: Easy Cheese Board Upgrade
Price: $12.99 per pound
A cheese plate is always a simple go-to appetizer. Slice up this aged goat cheese -- that has a surprising "hard" texture not typically associated with goat -- and serve it with some crackers and olives.
Garlic & Cheese Bread Sticks: Warm-and-Dip Crowd Favorite
Price: $3.99
While breadsticks are traditionally thought of as a side, these Garlic & Cheese Bread Sticks are flavorful enough to stand on their own as an appetizer, much like a garlic knot. They can be served at room temperature; but, to kick it up a notch, warm them in the oven and serve them with a marinara dipping sauce.
Grilled Chimichurri Chicken Thigh Skewers: Protein With Zero Prep
Price: $7.99
These fully cooked chicken skewers are the perfect easy appetizer to throw on a grill or heat up in the oven. Each skewer features juicy cuts of chicken thigh marinated in a Chimichurri-style mix of chopped cilantro, oregano, garlic, parsley, chili peppers and olive oil.
Pizza Bianca: Slice-and-Serve Party Starter
Price: $4.99
All of Trader Joe's frozen pizza offerings make for great appetizers, but this new addition might be the best candidate for a spring soiree starter. The Pizza Bianca is topped with a creamy Parmesan cheese sauce, mozzarella, Parmesan, onion and rosemary.
Cha Siu Bao Steamed Pork Buns: Fun Bite With Sauce Pairings
Price: $3.99
These fully cooked frozen buns are stuffed with Cantonese-style barbecue pork in a savory-sweet oyster sauce, all wrapped up in a fluffy, steamed bun. They're best served with one of Trader Joe's signature sauces -- Hoisin Sauce, Crunchy Chili Onion and Spicy Dynamite Sauce all make great pairings.
