Aussie Party Food Ideas Your Guests Will Love
Your Aussie-themed party isn't complete without these delicious and easy-to-make Australian party food ideas! They are sure to be a crowd pleaser.
Sausage Rolls
To make sausage rolls, start by preparing a filling of your choice, whether that be pork, beef or vegetables. Preheat the oven to 220°C. Cut a sheet of puff pastry in half vertically. Place a long line of the mixture down the middle of each pastry piece. Roll up each pastry piece to secure the filling. Cut each piece into smaller sections and place on a baking paper-lined oven tray. Using a pastry brush, lightly coat each piece with beaten egg. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until golden brown. Allow the sausage rolls to cool slightly before serving alongside tomato sauce.
Cheese and Vegemite Scrolls
To make delicious cheese and vegemite scrolls, preheat the oven to 200°C. Prepare your dough by combining and stirring flour, salt, butter and milk in a bowl. Gently knead the dough on a lightly floured surface and roll into a rectangle. Spread butter and vegemite over the dough. Sprinkle cheese over the surface. Roll the dough along the long slide to securely enclose the filling. Cut the rolls into equal portions then place onto a baking paper lined oven tray cut side up. Lightly brush each piece with beaten egg. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes or until golden brown. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
Charcuterie Board
To create a charcuterie board, start with a large platter or wooden board. Arrange an assortment of cured meats such as salami, prosciutto and chorizo alongside various cheeses like brie, cheddar and gouda. Add a selection of olives, pickles and dried fruits for extra flavour. Include crackers, baguette slices and breadsticks for a crunchy element. Complement the spread with fresh fruits like grapes and berries, and add nuts such as almonds and walnuts. Finish with small bowls of spreads like honey, mustard and fig jam for dipping.
Garlic Bread Cob Loaf Dip
To make a garlic bread cob loaf dip, preheat your oven to 175°C, then hollow out a round cob loaf and keep the bread chunks. In a bowl, mix 225 g of softened cream cheese, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, 1 cup of sour cream, 1 cup of grated cheddar and 2 to 3 minced garlic cloves. Fill the hollowed loaf with the mixture, wrap it in foil and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until the dip is hot and bubbly. Serve with the reserved bread chunks for dipping.
Fairy Bread
An Aussie childhood classic, this snack is incredibly easy to prepare. Simply butter-sliced pieces of bread and evenly disperse sprinkles over the buttered surface. Cut the bread slice either in triangle halves or into quarters for smaller pieces. Perfect as an entree or included in your dessert arrangement, this cheery snack instantly brightens any party.
Aussie Sporting Party Games Ideas For Endless Entertainment
At your Aussie-themed party, you can easily keep the fun going by hosting a range of fun and engaging party games. This can include challenging your guests with sports trivia, where teams compete to answer Australian sporting-themed questions. You can create an obstacle course in your home using everyday items, guiding your guests through tasks like jumping over obstacles and crawling under hurdles. You can also host a backyard race by setting up lanes for a classic sprint to the finish line or hold a long jump competition. Lastly, you can host a best-dressed competition, encouraging your guests to flaunt their creative Aussie-themed outfits, handing out medals such as our Super Mario Bros Mini Award Medal Favours 12 Pack or Favour Gold Medals to the guests who are the best dressed!
