Birthday canapes - tips and tricks
• Build a canape - a matter of minutes, but if everything is ready. You can pre-cut all the ingredients and arrange them in containers, and before the feast, quickly build miniature sandwiches.
• Canapes are not only salty or sharp, but also sweet. They are served as a dessert. The easiest way to cut different fruits and put on skewers. But you can add marshmallows, pastila, cookies and other sweets.
• Roasted bread sandwiches hold up much better and tastier. And it is not necessary to spend time on cooking the pieces. They can be roasted in the oven while another holiday dish is being cooked or after it.
• Mayonnaise - not the best sauce for canapes. The bread beneath it becomes limp, wet and tasteless. It is better to use processed cheeses or masses from soft cottage cheese. Tastier and healthier!
