Everyone knows what a canape is – this small French snack has gained popularity in many countries. Weighing no more than 80 g on the basis of dried bread or on a substrate of hard vegetables with a variety of fillings, mainly prepared for the festive table and buffets. Later they began to use skewers, but not for beauty, but in order not to get their hands dirty while eating. Today I offer you 2 types of canapes: with goat cheese and canapes with red fish, I have smoked salmon! Easy preparation and decoration of any table!
Simple, but delicious and spectacular canapes in Christmas colors. It can be prepared as a snack or as a dish decoration. The taste is delicate, grapefruit, olive. It’s worth a try.
Classic sandwiches on a festive table are boring, hackneyed and uninteresting. But these canapes with juicy meat and apples will make a splash among the guests!
The recipe for these delicate canapes with an unusual taste was found in a magazine. After cooking them, I was pleasantly surprised by the harmonious combination of tender trout, creamy softness of cream and exotic notes of soy sauce. I highly recommend this snack to fish lovers!
Two options for serving fish with sauces that set off its taste amazingly. Even the most inexpensive fish, such as cod or hake, will get a festive taste with such a margin. If you don’t have enough small plates to serve these snacks to all the guests, just make crispy toast, smear them with sauce (it’s thick enough) and put a piece of fish on top.
Dedicated to lovers of dating. For the first time I tried this canapé on the wedding table, and I really liked it.. I liked it so much that I do it at every opportunity. It seems to me that this recipe can be useful on the New Year’s table.. Perfectly combined with champagne.
