I need some quick to prepare or prepare well in advance recipes for supper at a party we are hosting soon. There is an oven so reheating will be no problem.

When you say supper are you refering to a meal after an evening dinner or for the evening dinner?

Use a savoury short pastry recipe - or purchase some - this rolls out and bakes and looks a little like flattened shortbread, though tastes different. .
Roll out until about 3-4mm thick. . a little thicker than you would have pastry for a pie. Cut into small circles with a cookie cutter - the crinkle-edged ones look good.
Bake as per the recipe or packet instructions. Leave till completely cold and freeze until the day they're needed - or make a few days ahead and keep in an airtight container.
You can decorate them as you wish. . some of the following can be made in advance, then placed on the circles not long before being ready to serve:
* Mix some cream cheese and salmon or smoked salmon together, add chopped chives or a little chopped mint. Season to taste. Spread over the circles, top with a small piece of smoked salmon.
* A slice of avocado, a slice of tomato and some smoked salmon on top. .
* Make some guacamole, and spread a thick layer over the circle, sprinkle with paprika and top with a small wedge of tomato.
* Use some cream cheese, seasoned to taste and a little lemon juice added, and spread on the circles. Top with some caviar.
* Spread a little hummus on the circles, then top with a thin layer of pesto.
* Place a slice of tomato on the circles, then top with pesto.
* Place a slice of cucumber on the circles, top with finely chopped mint mixed into some cream cheese, cottage cheese or hummus and season to your taste.
* Mix some finely chopped sundried tomato and some finely chopped mint into some cream, cottage cheese or hummus and spread on the circles. . top with a tiny piece of mint or parsley.
* Mix some chopped smoked salmon into some hummus - season to taste if needed, spread on the circles and decorate.
* Mix some sweet chilli sauce or some pickle, chutney or relish into cream cheese, cottage cheese or hummus, season if needed and spread on the circles and decorate.
* Mix some chopped gherkins into cream cheese, cottage cheese or hummus and season if needed, add smoked salmon if you want, spread on the circles and decorate.
* Other ingredients you could use:
* Salami, chopped or sliced in circles * Olives - sliced or chopped * Fresh herbs - parsley, mint, lemon balm, thyme, sage, etc. . * Grilled chopped crispy bacon * Hard boiled eggs chopped through cream cheese, cottage cheese or hummus and seasoned. * Slices of hard boiled egg. * Mashed hardboiled eggs, a little mayonnaise added and seasoned to taste - add a little curry powder and some chopped parsley - the good ole savoury egg recipe adapted to top the circles. * Thin slices of fresh tuna * Whatever you fancy... .
