Description
I love having cocktail parties with canapés. Here are a few of my favourite canapé recipes so you can throw a cocktail party with canapes
Method
-
1
Cut baguette into slices about 1 inch thick.
-
2
Cut Goats Cheese roll into thin slices.
-
3
Melt butter in microwave.
-
4
Dip baguette slices in butter to coat both sides & place on a baking dish lined with tinfoil.
-
5
Spread half the butter coated baguette slices with Sun dried tomato pesto & spread the other half with basil pesto.
-
6
Place a slice of goats cheese on each one.
-
7
Place a basil leaf on each basil pesto crostini.
-
8
Place 2 lil slices of red pepper in the shape of lips on each sundried tomato crostini.
-
9
Bake in oven at 200 degrees for 10 – 15 mins (until goats cheese is golden colour & bread is crisped).
-
10
Leave to cool a bit then serve to guests.
-
11
Cook the cocktail sausages as normal.
-
12
5 mins before sausages are ready, take them out of the oven. Slit each one down the middle & stuff with cheddar cheese & chutney.
-
13
Cook for a further 5 – 10 mins.
-
14
Serve!
-
15
Cut the feta into 40 even squares.
-
16
Grate the lemon to get the zest.
-
17
Mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil, the lemon zest, a bit of oregano & a bit of pepper together.
-
18
Pour over feta squares & leave to marinate for a few hours.
-
19
Once feta is marinated, make pretty lil skewers with cherry tomato, feta & a lil basil leaf so it looks like a lil sail of a boat on the top.
-
20
These are now ready to serve but you can make a pretty centre piece by covering a cabbage with tinfoil then sticking all of the skewers into the cabbage.
-
21
Put olive oil & salt in a bowl & mix asparagus spears in it.
-
22
Chargrill asparagus in a wok or, even better, a griddle pan for 3 or 4 mins.
-
23
Leave asparagus to cool.
-
24
Put a bit of Philadelphia cheese near the edge of each parma ham slice & place 2 asparagus spears on top then roll so that you are wrapping the asparagus & Philadelphia in the parma ham.
-
25
Put mint leaves, sugar & lime in a glass & crush with a pestle (or something similar!).
-
26
Add Rum.
-
27
Top off with soda.
-
28
Garnish with mint leaves or lime.

I made the canapes with both the sundried tomato and the basil pesto. They were fab, really quick and easy to make and went down very well with my guests.
I had my first go at making canapes for our garden party and made the goats cheese crostini and the tomato, feta and basil dish. They went down a real treat and everyone thought they were very professional. Thanks for posting.
