Cheese is an almost constant component of tiny sandwiches. Any of its varieties and species harmonizes with an incredible amount of products - from bananas to salted fish. The original layout of the canapes with cheese and various additions always decorates the festive table.

Canapes with cheese and grapes

As you already understood, there are no numbers for varieties of small sandwiches. Their taste and appearance are exclusively your desire and imagination. For example, you can try "amber" canapes with cheese and transparent grapes.

For them you will need:

  • two types of hard cheese - for example, "Russian" and with blue mold;
  • grapes, preferably a light variety and seedless.

Canapes - small sandwiches. Therefore, we turn both cheese into cubes with sides no more than three centimeters. We sort the grapes into berries. Getting to the creation of edible beauty. We inject the components onto the skewers in the following order: a cube of "Russian" cheese - a grape - a cube of blue cheese. Canapes with cheese and grapes can be served on the table.

Cooking with ham

As a rule, canapes with meat ingredients “lie” on the bread “platform” - pieces of black or white bread.

For our next type - with ham and cheese - we use brown bread.

In addition to it, we take such products:

  • hard cheese - “Dutch” or “Russian”;
  • ham - enough for all canapes;
  • cucumber is better than fresh.

We cut bread in slices three centimeters high. Dry in a toaster (you can do this in a frying pan or in the oven). It remains to cut the resulting toasts (or croutons) into cubes.

Similarly, we process ham and cheese.

Cucumber cut into thin rings.

"Building Material" is ready.

We put the products in a certain order: a cube of bread - a cube of cheese - a cube of ham - a circle of cucumber (bent by an arch), we put sandwiches on skewers so that the bread is at the very bottom.

There is another option with a rather original combination - ham and peach. They say that Berliners are very fond of him. To make Berlin-style canapes, you need soft and not spicy cheese, and white bread.

  1. Butter a slice of bread with butter, which we then grind, as required.
  2. For each serving, put the sliced ​​ham, respectively, on it - a piece of peach.
  3. Upstairs is a cheese square.
  4. The secret is that these sandwiches must then be kept in a hot oven so that the cheese is melted and browned.

An appetizer with sausage and cheese can be prepared in the same way, replacing ham with your favorite cooked sausage.

Sandwiches on skewers with olives

Are you planning a buffet table and don’t know what to come up with instead of banal sandwiches? The same sandwiches, but in miniature - canapes. They will not only be a delicious treat, but also decorate the table. Especially if olives are among the components.

Create labor is not. However, even experienced and creative housewives will not hurt to get acquainted with some of the subtleties.

  1. Ideal canapes are obtained with two or three grades of cheese. Guests will have a choice according to their taste.
  2. The olives are seedless and must be put on the skewer last.
  3. The basis can be not only bread, but also puff pastry.

Canapes on skewers with olives will do so. First, we turn the bread and the favorite cheese into small cubes of about the same size. Since the choice of the remaining components depends only on our imagination, well, and also on the supplies in the refrigerator, this time we use red bell pepper. It also turns into fragments resembling cubes.

The order of the components on each skewer (or toothpick) from bottom to top is as follows:

  • bread;
  • cheese;
  • pepper;
  • olive.

Canapes with marmalade, cheese and lemon

An unusual dessert can be created not only in the form of cakes, muffins and the like muffins, but also as a canapé. You don’t have fantasies, therefore, choosing a recipe, think over the color scheme that will look most advantageous on the table. If you want harmony, you can take into account the color of cheese, lemon and include marmalade in the composition of the dish with a yellow, delicate orange or transparent lime shade. And if the mood is mischievous, prefer the contrast - bright red or juicy green sweetness. And one more “secret” - such canapes can be made with a cheese base. And you can dry the slices of sweet muffin and put everything on it.

So, all the ingredients - sweet toast, cheese, marmalade and lemon - are brought to the desired state. On a skewer they will be placed in the following order: at the base is a cube of a sweet bun (you can do without it) - a cheese cube - a small lemon slice - marmalade.

With strawberry

When a meeting with a friend is planned over a glass of good white wine or cognac, canapes with Brie cheese and fresh strawberries will be an excellent accompaniment for a gourmet drink.

Create a snack from:

  • Brie cheese - cut it into small triangles;
  • Strawberries - each must be divided in half, so the berries should not be ripe and too soft.

In ready-made canapes, halves of berries “sit” on “stands” of cheese.

Another variation of a strawberry cheese sandwich is with banana and mint. It looks very pretty.

Sequence:

  • below - mild cheese;
  • “Second floor” - a banana;
  • further - a whole berry;
  • at the very top is a mint leaf.

Pineapple Recipe

In fact, there are many options. And all the time new ones appear when someone comes up with some unusual combination of products.

For example:

  • cheese "Maasdam";
  • lettuce;
  • pineapple (canned or fresh - as you wish).

What all products should look like by the time it comes time to string them on toothpicks is known. Salad, of course, cannot be cut into cubes.Therefore, strips are needed, each approximately five centimeters long and two wide.

"Collecting" canapes. We have cheese below. On it is a double folded strip of salad. And crowned with a pineapple slice design.

Canapes with cherry tomatoes and cheese

Neat cherry tomatoes are perfect for canapes. As an appetizer, canapes with cherry and Mozzarella cheese will be a great start to a feast.

To make them, you will need:

  • cherry tomatoes - enough six pieces;
  • Mozzarella cheese - as many balls;
  • basil - enough 12 leaves;
  • ground black pepper and salt - we focus on our own taste;
  • olive oil - at least two tablespoons;
  • balsamic vinegar - no more than a teaspoon.

Then everything is simple. We cut each tomato into halves. We take the skewers and set about making the canapes in the following order: tomato half - basil leaf - cheese ball - second basil leaf - another part of the tomato. We fill all this beauty with gas station. We make it by mixing olive oil with balsamic vinegar, pepper and salt.

With fish

You can take any fish for canapes - sea, river, red, white, fried, salted, canned, smoked. We suggest you try the recipe for sandwiches with salted salmon.

We take:

  • white loaf;
  • butter;
  • fish - enough 100 grams;
  • hard cheese (any) - not less than 70 grams;
  • cucumber (fresh and small);
  • 1/3 teaspoon of lemon juice.

Cut the loaf into ovals. We lubricate each with oil, and then grind to the size of small cubes with a side of two centimeters. At the same time, we do not save and cut the crust: so future canapes will look neater on skewers.

We turn cheese and fish into “spare parts” of the same size as bread. We spray the fish with citrus juice. This will emphasize its delicate taste. We turn the cucumber into thin circles so that they do not break, but turn around.

In finished form, mini-sandwiches look like this (from the bottom up): a cube of loaf with butter - a fish square - a cheese cube - again a fish - a cucumber circle bent by an arc.
