Canape - an appetizer consisting of a thin slice or piece of bread toasted or fried in butter or oil, on which anchovies, mushrooms, caviar, cheese, or other savory foods, are served (Source: thefreedictionary.com)
How happy it will be when our kutti kutti childhood desire comes true after many years? I felt the same today after clicking these colorful cool canapes.
Long long ago, me and my sister saw a biscuit advertisement in a magazine in which the biscuits were topped with many layers and served colorfully. That time we did not know much about the cheese and toppings, so we simply used a Maggie tomato ketchup.
After many years, the time I started to know much about cooking and special ingredients used to give catchy look to the dish, I realized how simple it is to do topping over a biscuit. When I tried this biscuit canape today, the 12 year in me took over and I thoroughly enjoyed every moment of preparing and serving this dish.
Ingredients : Salt biscuit for base. Cheese slice of any kind. Thinly sliced mixed vegetables -- Carrot, -- Cucumber, -- Onion, -- Cilantro, -- Tomato. Grated cheese and crunchy savory mixture. **Note : There is no specific measure for the ingredients, prepare as much as you like. I am not going to restrict by giving the measurements. Method : --- This easy peasy biscuit canape is very simple, its only layering of all the ingredients. --- Arrange the biscuit over the serving plate. Choose the plate according to your theme, because once we start layering it will be difficult to change the plates. --- Take the cheese slice and cut into small squares or triangles according to the size of the biscuit. --- Place the cheese slice over the biscuit as a second layer. --- Take a spoonful of mixed vegetable and put it on the top of the cheese. This forms the third layer. --- To make it little more crunchy, top the vegetables with little savory mixture. --- Drizzle some finely grated cheese as a last layer. --- The easy peasy biscuit canape is ready to rock the party |
Variations :
--- You can use vegetables like green, red or yellow bell peppers, will give nice color to the plate.
--- Also to make it little spicy, you can use any ketchup in the bottom layer.
These canapes will be a best for any parties or quick snacks. Easy to make and so colorful to look.
