Small sandwiches are a great snack for any company. You can cook it from anything: fruits, vegetables, berries, seafood, meat, cheese or sausage. In addition, you can get creative with the preparation of canapes and tarts and make them a real decoration of the festive table. From our article you will learn how to make original small sandwiches for a party and surprise your friends and acquaintances with new tastes.

Canape

This is a small sandwich whose name can be translated as "tiny". Usually this appetizer is served at receptions and youth parties, where people gather to socialize and dance a lot. Mini-sandwiches are often threaded onto skewers or toothpicks so that they can be taken without getting your hands dirty and put in your mouth whole. Serve them on a large and flat dish or serving rack.

How to make canapes

Small sandwiches on skewers are mostly cooked on white bread. You can rarely see this snack on rye or whole grains. Some prefer to make multi-story canapes withsmall crackers. We encourage you to try your hand at culinary arts and start by making a simple, classic little sandwich. For this you need:

• Slice wheat bread thinly and dry the resulting slices a little in a toaster, oven or microwave. The main thing - do not overdo it. The sandwich base should hold its shape after cutting and not be too dry.

• Put a filling on each slice and press it against the base. It can be cheese, ham or meat. Using a wide, sharp knife, cut the bread slices into diamonds, squares, or rectangles.
• If desired, top each piece with an olive, lemon wedge, cucumber or tomato. Pierce the entire structure with a skewer and place on a beautiful dish.

If you are making small sandwiches for the first time, then do not strive to create a multi-layer structure. Most likely, such a canape will fall apart in your hands or it will be inconvenient to eat. Once you've gained enough experience, try the recipes below.

Appetizer "Amanita"

Children love this bright and eye-catching dish. It can be made for a birthday or any family celebration. To do this, we will need boiled and peeled quail eggs, herbs and cherry tomatoes. To make white dots, we need to take some mayonnaise or cream cheese. For hats, cut the tomatoes in half and remove the pulp with a spoon. Thread ingredients onto skewers to formmushrooms, and apply dots with a toothpick. We spread lettuce leaves, parsley or dill on a dish and “plant” our fly agarics on an impromptu clearing. Bon appetit!

Small sandwiches with chips

This light snack can be prepared for gatherings with friends. It goes well with wine and cocktails that you will treat your guests to. Mini-sandwiches are prepared quickly and easily:

• Mix cream cheese, which should be at room temperature, with dill, green onions, capers and lemon juice. The amount of ingredients you have to determine yourself, guided by personal preferences.
• Refrigerate the finished mixture for two or three hours.
• Take large potato chips and use a spoon to put cheese mass on them.
• Cut lightly s alted or smoked salmon into cubes and place the slices on top of the filling.

Mini kebabs

These cute appetizers will brighten up any party and your guests will love it. A distinctive feature of this type of canape is that it is prepared without bread. You will need to dice several types of cheese and thread it onto long skewers, alternating with grapes or olives.

Tarts

These popular small buffet sandwiches are made with the same kind of bread and toppings. The base for this snack can also be made from a cracker, bagel, orpressed whole grain bread. Usually, one side of the tart is spread with a thin layer of butter, and what is in the refrigerator is placed on top. It can be cheese, sausage, boiled meat, fish, eggs or canned food. If you plan to spend the evening in an informal setting, then make several fillings and put them in different dishes. Place figuredly sliced \u200b\u200bbread and butter next to it. During the conversation, your guests will prepare a treat themselves, focusing on their own taste.

Tartlets

Small snack sandwiches in the form of baskets are prepared very quickly and are always popular among guests. Spicy toppings made from fish, vegetables, meat and cheese will not let the party go hungry and will help not to linger for a long time at the festive table. You can buy the basis for this snack in a store or cookery, or you can cook it yourself. To do this, you will need shortbread or puff pastry, but you can also make them from dough mixed with sour cream, kefir, cottage cheese or cheese. But today we will look at the classic recipe:

• For the shortcrust pastry, mix one cup of flour, 100 grams of melted butter, some water, one yolk and s alt.
• Place the finished dough in the refrigerator for at least half an hour.
• Roll out 3mm thick and cut into squares.
• Put the pieces of dough into the silicone molds and press down the edges. The excess can be removed, or you can leave the tartletsfancy shape.
• Send the blanks to the refrigerator for another half an hour, and then pierce them with a fork in several places.
• Bake the base in a preheated oven for about 20 minutes.

Tartlet toppings

Many housewives do not rack their brains over the preparation of complex fillings, but simply put salads with mayonnaise sauce prepared for the holiday into baskets. But we will tell you how to make truly original fillings that will surprise and delight your guests.

• Finely chop the fillet of slightly s alted salmon or trout (100 grams), chop the dill (to taste), grate the cheese (100 grams) and the butter frozen in the refrigerator (a small piece). Mix all the ingredients with a blender or pass them through a meat grinder. Put the finished pâté into the baskets with a spoon or using a pastry bag with a curly nozzle.
• 100 grams of bacon, 150 grams of cheese and one tomato cut into small cubes and put in a bowl. In a separate bowl, beat the chicken egg with mayonnaise and ground hot pepper. Combine all products and mix thoroughly. Divide the toppings into tartlets and bake them in the oven for about 15 minutes.
• Take out the cod liver from the jar, drain the excess oil and knead with a fork. Finely chop four eggs and a few pickled cucumbers. We mix the components, put them into molds and decorate with greenery.

• Finely chop the onion and mushrooms (champignons or wild mushrooms), cut the boiled chicken into small piecesbreast and fry all the products in turn. Pour the cream into a clean pan and bring to a boil. For taste, you can add seasoning for julienne and ground dried mushrooms. After a few minutes, pour the sauce into the filling and put the baskets to bake until cooked.
