Shabbat Tisch? Ie period finger foods that can be Kosher. My lady

the fact that we just got engaged.>>

Well, congratulations!

I don't know much from kosher other than no pork, not combining meat and 
dairy, and buying kosher ingredients :-)
but I do know that many period pies can be made in small, hand-size portions 
by making them in a mini-muffin tin or as small turnovers.  Therefore, 
anything you would find acceptable as a pie filling would work for this - well, if 
you wanted a custard, you'd have to use the mini-muffin tin, as it wouldn't work 
as a turnover, but...

Where do eggs fall in the kosher classification?  It's probably possible to 
find a variety of pies and cakes that use eggs as a binder, but may not need a 
dairy product as well.  That would allow meat pies and possibly some fruit or 
vegetable bases if you want savory things, whereas most of the sweet pies that 
I know of are custards and usually include dairy products.
