Canapes are a very convenient and beautiful form of a festive table. These incredibly tasty, tempting and original snacks on skewers will be the highlight of any feast. Today, canapes are even a separate section of cooking, which in terms of the types and complexity of laying out and cutting ingredients can compete with the preparation of confectionery products. Stock up on toothpicks or plastic skewers, and go, musketeers! A bright holiday table is guaranteed for you!
The word canape translated from French means tiny, very small. That is, these are miniature sandwiches that can be eaten at one time, putting the whole thing in your mouth. If the canapé needs to be bitten into, it’s already a simple sandwich.
There are two types of canapés on skewers. In the first case, fresh bread or bread fried in olive oil is used as the base. In the second case, the base is a base of hard cheese or vegetables. It could be fresh cucumber, boiled potatoes, carrots or even beets. When making canapés, it is important to think through the sequence of ingredients in advance so that they sit beautifully next to each other on the skewer and, of course, combine to taste. And the cooking process is usually quite simple. I present to you a selection from “Tasty and Simple”. There are quite simple canapé recipes, as well as festive ones (more sophisticated ones). All recipes are illustrated with final photos. I’m not posting step-by-step photos here, everything is already clear.

Simple recipes for canapés with smoked sausage
Such mini-sandwiches are prepared quickly and simply from available products, which are impaled on skewers or, in extreme cases, toothpicks. If you cut everything evenly, such a multi-colored slide will stand beautifully on plates, attracting the eyes of those who have not yet had a chance to try them. The size and shape of the food pieces can be any, the main thing is that the skewer can withstand their total weight.
The bright taste of smoked meats is smoothed out with a piece of feta cheese, but if desired, it can be replaced with your favorite low-fat variety of hard cheese or mozzarella. I note that this version of canapes turns out to be quite inexpensive and at the same time satisfying, so it is convenient to prepare such a snack if you have to feed a large company.

Cut the cheese into cubes.
Strain the olives from the marinade.
Now we string all the ingredients onto a skewer.
Place on a flat dish, decorate the greens and sprinkle with a little lemon juice for piquancy.
And here’s another simple, simple option made from a loaf of bread and salami. For greasing, use cottage cheese, but it should not taste too salty. You can complement the canapes with your favorite vegetables.
Compound:
- 1/2 baguette;
- 100-120 g sliced salami;
- a handful of pitted olives;
- 60 g curd cheese;
- garlic clove;

- Products cut into shapes will look very beautiful: stars, circles, diamonds, flowers and hearts. This can be done using vegetable cutters or special knives.
- It will be very beautiful if you string ingredients of different colors onto skewers so that the canapés look bright and cheerful.
- If you have prepared a lot of different canapés, you can arrange them on a large platter or tray in rows: on one dish - meat sandwiches, on the second - fruit sandwiches, on the third - sweet desserts.
- You can use fruits or vegetables as a dish for canapés. For example, stick sandwiches on skewers into a zucchini. You will get a large hedgehog with needles from a canape.
- Trays with canapés are perfectly decorated with sprigs of greenery or flowers.
- Canapés can be a decoration for any dish.
- Canapés look beautiful in glasses or bowls.
- Fruits should be thoroughly washed under running water and gently dried with paper towels. Before cooking, remove hard peels, seeds and large seeds.
- Berries and fruits are delicate and perishable products. Therefore, they should be processed and cut shortly before serving. Otherwise, they will become weathered, drain and darken.
- Lemon juice is the first aid for preserving the freshness of fruit desserts. Sprinkle canapés with it periodically.
- Don't be afraid to get creative with cutting fruit. They can be cut not only in the form of circles and cubes, but also with the help of special culinary molds to cut out interesting figures. This makes the dessert look even more appetizing.

The secret of this snack is that all the ingredients should be chopped very finely, then rolling the tortilla into a roll will be very easy.

In conclusion, I would like to say a few words about skewers. There is a huge selection in stores now! For canapés, it is best to use wooden disposable skewers with minimalist decor or without it at all. Place neon-colored plastic skewers away. Canapés are prepared from bright, beautiful and fresh products, which in themselves look beautiful on the table and a plastic skewer can ruin everything. In addition, wooden skewers do not slip, they hold the ingredients together better, the main thing is that they are of good quality without nicks or chips. In 2021, the trend for natural materials has not lost its relevance; in addition to wooden skewers, bamboo skewers are also suitable.
Bright and beautiful appetizers are a great way to cheer yourself up, feel the spirit of the holiday and brighten up the anticipation of the main course. Cook with pleasure and imagination, and your guests will definitely appreciate all your efforts. Treat yourself to delicious dishes more often, regardless of the holidays.

Basic rules for preparing canapés
Initially, canapes were invented for serving buffets. Convenient portion serving and an unlimited list of original flavors make canapés an ideal basis for a buffet. They fit perfectly in addition to an aperitif or can claim to be the main dish of the evening if they are based on hearty ingredients such as ham, cheese, olives.
Delicious canapés on skewers for the festive table can be prepared literally from what is at hand. This could be sausages on bread or a fruit set. The cutting is important here. The shape should be such that all the contents can be eaten at once. This is why many housewives have difficulty cooking.
Little tricks for preparing canapés
- If bread is used as the basis for mini-sandwiches, then you need to bring it to such a consistency that it does not fall apart when slicing. To do this, buy a loaf of fresh bread a couple of days before cooking and store it wrapped in a plastic bag or cling film in the refrigerator.
- Canapes are a favorite dish of food photographers. Mini sandwiches look harmonious on a serving platter and create a single composition with even shapes. Therefore, the main rule in preparing canapés is that the ingredients must be comparable in size to each other.
- The maximum size of a canape is 4 centimeters in diameter. This is a one-bite dish. There’s no point in building up large towns; it’s better to make more things – it’s more practical and beautiful.
- Before serving, the canapes on skewers should be cooled in the refrigerator. This way it will be more stable and will not spread on the plate.
- Canapés can be made not only on special skewers, but also on tartlets, crackers and toothpicks. It is important not to go beyond the recommended serving size.
