Filet Mignon Bites with Creamy sauce Albert are the right elegant appetizer to serve at your next party. Tender bites of fillet are wrapped in bacon and served with a thick and tangy sauce Albert.

With the vacation season fully effect, I’ve been thinking of more ways to pair appetizers with wine – besides the standard cheese platter. I wanted to try to to something fancy enough to match with a Christmas party or a replacement Year’s Eve Bash. And, it doesn’t get far more fancy than fillet .

Filet Mignon Bites With Creamy Horseradish Sauce

But, let’s not ditch the final touch – The creamy sauce Albert . consider this sauce because the star on top of the Christmas tree or the champagne toast in the dark . It’s the finishing and expected touch – Tangy, spicy horseradish, combined with creamy greek yogurt, a touch of breadcrumbs to thicken things up a touch , and a few unsweetened applesauce to feature an additional layer and a touch of sweetness to the combination . It’s a star of this dish – Outshined only by the smoky bacon and tender fillet . But those two things can really outshine anything, right?

And then comes the wine. When we’re hosting company, i prefer to supply a minimum of a few of wine pairing options. First, because not everyone has an equivalent taste in wine. Second, because it’s fun to taste a few different wines with the food, to ascertain how each can compliment the food differently.
