Recipe idea #1: Fan baguette with tomato mozzarella
First of all, we would like to introduce you to a recipe for a heavenly, delicious fan baguette. It's super quick and everyone enjoys it.
The best thing: you can fill the baguette with whatever you want. All you need is a baguette (and it can be from the day before), some cheese and the ingredients of your choice. We decided on a classic version with tomatoes and mozzarella.
This is what you need:
For approx. 2 people
- Baguette
- 2 large tomatoes
- 2 Pck. Mozzarella
- Basil pesto
And this is how it works:
Cut the baguette approximately every 2 cm with a bread knife, but do not cut all the way through. Wash and slice tomatoes. Season with a little salt and pepper. Also cut the mozzarella into slices.
Spread the inside of the incisions with basil pesto and then alternately place a slice of tomato and a slice of mozzarella in each.
Now on a baking tray lined with baking paper in the preheated ovenat 200 °C for about 10 minutesbake. After baking, let cool briefly, but serve warm.
Tipp:Is your baguette a little older and now very hard or chewy like rubber? Then you can sprinkle it with a little water before baking and topping. When you bake it in the oven later, it will taste fresh and crunchy again!

Recipe idea #5: Spaghetti muffins
Another brilliant last-minute idea for New Year's Eve: spaghetti muffins. Almost all of us have spaghetti in our pantry and the rest of the ingredients are also very manageable.
Instead of making the spaghetti muffins à la Carbonara, you can of course also opt for another (vegetarian) version.
This is what you need:
For 2 people
- 150 g Spaghetti
- 50 g Baconwürfel
- 1 small onion
- 50 g Parmesan
- 2 egg yolks
- 120 ml whipped cream
And this is how it works:
Cook spaghetti “al dente”. Leave the bacon in a pan, chop the onion and add it. Grease the wells of a muffin tin (preferably made of silicone). Drain the spaghetti and twist it into small nests with a fork. Then put these into the muffin tin.
Whisk together grated cheese, egg yolks and cream. Then add bacon and onions. Season with salt and pepper. Then add a tablespoon of each to the spaghetti nests in the muffin tin.
Recipe idea #6: Santa Claus chocolate fondue
Fondue is one of the absolute classics on New Year's Eve. A chocolate fondue is also the perfect opportunity to get rid of leftover chocolate that we have accumulated over the Christmas period.
This is what you need:
- Chocolate, such as Santa Claus
- Fruits of your choice
And this is how it works:
Break the chocolate into pieces and place in a pot. Heat very slowly and stir frequently so that the chocolate does not become lumpy. If you like, you can also melt them in a water bath to be on the safe side.
Then simply chop the fruit of your choice (e.g. strawberries, bananas, tangerines). Add the chocolate to the fondue pot and keep warm. Serve fruit with skewers or forks for dipping and enjoy!

Recipe idea #7: Tiramisu in a glass jar made from cookies
We not only accumulate Santa Claus and chocolate over the Christmas period, but also lots of cookies. If you still have a lot of speculoos and the like left over, you can easily use it to conjure up heavenly, delicious tiramisu on New Year's Eve. We'll reveal how it works.
This is what you need:
For 2-3 people

- 50g brown sugar
- 2 packs of vanilla sugar
- approx. 300 g cookies
- some cinnamon or cocoa powder
- optional: 300 g fruit
And this is how it works:
First put the mascarpone and quark in a bowl and process with a fork into a creamy mixture. Add sugar and vanilla sugar and mix well. Now prepare about 2-3 glasses (depending on how big they are).
Now start with a layer of mascarpone cream. Then crumble the cookies of your choice (for example speculoos) and add them over the quark layer. If you like, you can add a few more fruits, for example canned peaches or raspberries are particularly delicious.
Then add mascarpone cream over it again, etc. Finish with the cream. Place in the refrigerator for a few hours to allow the cookies to soften. Sprinkle with cocoa powder or cinnamon before serving.
