Preparation for any holiday begins with a menu. You should always consider not only the beauty of the table, but also the ease of cooking. Ham canapés are an indispensable option. These small sandwiches are perfect for snacks at various events, receptions, where there will be no common table.
Description
In European countries such as France, Spain and northern Italy, you can meet canapes in the bar. Translated from French, canapé is tiny, and it is of this size that everyone adheres to. In diameter, they should not exceed 4 cm, so that you could eat a sandwich with one bite.
There are many varieties of this snack:
- ham canapes;
- with fish;
- fat;
- vegetables, etc.
There is no single recipe for cooking. It depends on your imagination and taste preferences. The assortment of
small sandwiches looks beautiful on the table
. They can be either simply laid down or served with special skewers that not only hold all layers, but also create convenience in use (no additional cutlery is needed).
Ham Canapes Step-by-Step Recipe
First, we will prepare all the necessary products. We will need:
- Borodino bread;
- ham - 200 g;
- Bulgarian red pepper;
- cream cheese - 100 g;
- 2 tbsp. l fat sour cream and 1 tbsp. l mustard;

Now let's take a look at the step-by-step preparation of ham canapes:
- Cut thin brown bread, cucumber and ham into thin square slices.
- Fry the bread on one side.
- Cooking the sauce. To do this, it is good to beat the grated cheese with sour cream and mustard with a fork or mixer.

The Pyramid
Such canapes with ham on skewers will decorate any table. We buy in the store:
- ham or salami - 150 g;
- black olives (seedless);
- cherry tomatoes - 12 pieces;
- bread (preferably rye);
- feta cheese - 150 g;
- fresh parsley;
- canapé skewers - 12 pieces.
Here, too, everything is quite simple. Cut ham, cheese and bread into thin squares to make 12 pieces of each type.
We put the pyramids in this order: first ham, then bread and cheese. Top with a small leaf of parsley.
Wash cherry tomatoes under running water and carefully wipe them with a napkin. We take the skewer, string the olive, then the tomato and stick it into the workpiece.
You should get such beautiful canapes with ham, as in the photo from the cookbook.
"Ships"
You will like to make these sandwiches with children, because the result is amazing. We spread on the table such ingredients as:
- ham - 150 g;
- baguette;
- potatoes - 2 pcs.;
- cucumber;
- mayonnaise - 2-3 tbsp. l;
- hard cheese - 150 g;
- 3 cloves of garlic;
- black olives.
As in other cases, we begin with the preparation of products for canapes with ham, cheese and cucumber. First, wash the potatoes well, peel them. Cut it into circles, a thickness of not more than 0.5 cm, and fry in sunflower oil until tender. Cut the baguette and cucumber in the same size.
Grate the cheese on a fine grater, chop the garlic and mix with mayonnaise to make a homogeneous mass. Divide the ham into thin large pieces. Spread with the mixture and roll up. We cut so that every second is slightly smaller than the first.
Add up our "boat". First comes bread, potatoes and cucumber. We put olive on the skewer, then a small roll and a little more. We stick in the pyramid.
Charming ships are ready for sailing.
Pickled Mushrooms Canapes
Great snack for a feast. Men will be pleased with your abilities.
Required:
- Rye bread;
- pickle;
- pickled mushrooms;
- ham;
- hard cheese;
- mayonnaise.
A similar set of products can be found in almost any refrigerator. This is how we will prepare this canapé with ham and cucumber:
- As always, we cut black bread, cheese and pickles, trying to make the thickness and size of each piece approximately identical. In the same order we collect the pyramid, smearing all the layers with mayonnaise.
- Now we cut the ham in very thin strips (approximately 3 cm wide). From mushrooms you only need hats.
- We insert the skewer in the middle of the hat so that it comes out exactly from the leg, and we put on a strip of sausage with a snake. We stick in the pyramid.
Can be served.
Fried rolls
Such ham canapes will be cooked.
Take:
- ham - 100 g;
- loin - 100 g;
- pickle;
- processed cheese;
- olives;
- black bread.
To begin with, we will make ham rolls into which you need to wrap a diced loin. Their length should be slightly more than slices of bread. We fasten with toothpicks and fry in a small amount of olive oil.
Spread thinly sliced bread with cream cheese and put on top a piece of pickled or pickled cucumber.
We put olive on the skewer, then we pierce the roll, changing places with a toothpick. We stick into the workpiece. You can drizzle a little olive sauce on top.
The appetizer is ready. Simple and festive.
