BREAD CANAPES

Bread Canape is a delicious appetiser and crowd pleaser in a party. When I was just watching videos on you tube I came across this bread canapé recipe which is easy to make and tastes delicious. It is stuffed with vegetables and cheese which is all time hit combo at my place. My younger daughter and hubby loves pizza a lot, so I love this recipe. You can add veggies according to your choice. Non-veg lovers can add boiled and shredded chicken pieces instead of veggies or you can add paneer in stuffing. Like pizza, I added grated cheese on the top and sprinkled some chilli flakes and oregano on the top. You will have a burst of flavors while having each bite. These bite sized finger foods which are quick and easy snack and it was my families breakfast today. A great party starter that are ready in no time at all. While making this discs, you will be left with lots of bread pieces which can be used either for some more bread snacks or for making bread crumbs. Serve this perfect snack to your guests which is looking really yummy, healthy and tasty.

For Making The Stuffing:

STEP 1 - Heat oil in a pan, add ginger-garlic paste in it. Roast it for few seconds.

STEP 6 - Keep the mixture aside and let it cool down.

For Making Canapes:

STEP 1 – Place the bread slices on the clean and dry kitchen cutting board and

 cut the bread slices into round discs with a cookie cutter as shown in the picture.

[see notes ] We need one outer ring  and one disc for one canape.

Cut them and keep them aside. From half discs, we are going to cut a ring with a small cookie cutter and using the ring only.

STEP 2 - Spread butter on the bread discs,

add some grated cheese over each disc and keep the ring over it as shown in the picture below.

STEP 3 - Add 2 tablespoon veggie mix in the center of each canape. Sprinkle some grated cheese over it.

STEP 4 - Sprinkle some more grated cheese, mixed herbs and chilli flakes on each canape.

STEP 5 - Brush the canapes with oil / butter.

 Prepare all the canapes like this with the other bread discs and stuffing.  Arrange them on the baking tray.

STEP 6 - In a pre-heated oven, bake the canapes for 8-10 minutes or until they turn crispy and golden in colour on 160 degree C.

STEP 7 - Cool them for 2-3 minutes in oven and then remove from oven and serve hot bread canapes.

Serve hot bread canapes with any dip of your choice and enjoy.  

NOTES: Cut all bread slice into discs. Then keep half aside. Take the rest and cut them with small cookie cutter. Here we get outer bread rings.

You can add veggies according to your choice or you can add chicken pieces for non-veg option or can replace it with paneer and veggies mixture

Here I sprinkled grated cheese on the top but you can add it in the stuffing too.

You can add some chilli flakes or red chilli powder to the stuffing.
