 Topic: Canapes HELP
Posted: 01 September 2010 at 4:59pm |
Hi ladies,
I think I must be a bit mad  because I've decided to save a few $$$ and do the catering for Ruairidh's naming ceremony.
I was always going to do the cake anyway, so what's a few canapes? 
Sooooooo I need recipe ideas please 
Just canapes.... it's not a buffet 
Thanking you

My favourites for parties -
mini quiches
spinach and cheese or chicken and cranberry filo triangles
mini apple pies
mini corn fritters, youcould put a dollop of creme fraiche and smoked salmon on top if you want to be fancy ;)
fruit kebabs
chocolate brownies

lol i meant for the adults, but y'know ahaha. cookie cutters are great for that!
also for the kids, if you get puff pasty, and a cookie cutter, then cut cute shapes out of the pastry, bake in the oven so it puffs up and they can dip in sauce or dip or just eat.

potato samosas. Just fry up some pre cooked potato cubes with peas, garam masala and coriander, throw in some chopped mint and season with salt and pepper. Use to fill filo pastry triangles.
Could also do spinach and feta ones as well.
Mini savoury muffins. such as ham and cheese, sour cream and chives e.t.c

spring rolls, you could get puff pastry and if you can find it put bouchin cheese on it. I LOVED this. Can be hard to find the cheese though. samosas, depending how fancy you wanna go salt and pepper squid - provide toothpicks and napkins and a dipping sauce like Aioli. Ummm chix tandoori kebabs mini of course
bacon and egg pie is always good. mini muffins your typical sausage rolls, mini hot dogs, hmmm I'm sure I can think of more

French stick sliced into circles with cream cheese and toppings such as smoked salmon, ham, salami, sun dried tomatoes or olives.
Or pinwheels. tortillas with cream cheese or avo with ham, lettuce, tomatoes and cheese rolled up and cut into slices.
Sushi
Sausage rolls. Can't go wrong with sausy rolls.
Bread cases. Use a muffin tin and put a piece of bread in and bake in oven until toasty.
Mini pizzas.

Hummus and Toasted Pita Bread
Crostini with dips
Chicken Nibbles
Oriental Meatballs
Spring rolls
These are great, and very popular in our house, my grandad loves them
Chili Cheese Mini Muffins
2 cups tasty cheese
1 1/2 cups SR flour
1 tsp garlic salt
1 cup milk
1 egg
Preheat oven to 210c
Combine chili sauce, milk and egg into a bowl and beat with fork until combined
Pour the liquid into the dry ingredients all at once.. then fold everything together, mixing no more than necessary to dampen flour.
Fill mini muffin pans (24) and cook for about 12mins. Serve warm.
They turn out well as bigger muffins too.

hmm the only new suggestion i have is fruit kebabs, we usually do a bit of pinapple, stawberry and a marshmellow the kids like it and its a way of getting fruit in. Also just slices of fruit on a platter can be a good idea.

One of my faves is bacon wrapped water chestnuts. Yum! Secure the bacon with a toothpick and put under the grill until bacon is cooked. Yummy!
