Apricot appetizer with chicken fillet

A wonderful combination of fruit snacks. Many of us are accustomed to the fact that if it’s fruit, then it’s a regular cut.

Have you tried to create something more wonderful, for example, fruit snacks? Here you can combine with the incompatible.

We'll see, and maybe even try. Let's combine sweet apricot and salty feta, and add a little kick in the form of spicy chicken.

We will need:

• chicken fillet - 150 gr.
• spices (paprika, coriander, pepper, cinnamon, salt, garlic, cumin) - 2 gr.

Place our marinated chicken fillet in a hot frying pan with oil, fry on both sides (about 5 minutes on each), add spicy sauce and simmer for another 5 minutes

Remove from heat and pour liberally with lemon juice, let cool

Lemon juice will make the chicken fillet more dense and will not crumble when cutting.

Cut all the fillets into plastic pieces, as thin as possible

Take two plastic fillets and roll them into a roll, securing with a skewer

Mash the feta cheese with a fork until smooth.

We prepare apricots; if you use canned ones, they do not require any processing

If you are using fresh apricots, first rinse them with water and peel them in a thin layer, divide them in half and remove the bones.

Apricot is considered very healthy fruit rich in magnesium, calcium and iron. Improves brain performance and increases hemoglobin

Using a pastry bag, spread feta cheese onto the apricots onto the prepared apricots.

Place a rose on top chicken fillet, and decorate with greenery

This, at first glance, very simple, but originally designed appetizer is ready. It turns out that combining compatible with incompatible is very useful and beautiful

Which one festive table without interesting snacks. Every housewife is full of ideas and imagination. And an incredible amount of products can help us

Sometimes, without noticing it, we create masterpieces from the same ordinary cheese or deli meat, fish and cream cheese

There is a lot to list, maybe it’s time to start

There are several types of snacks - canapés, sandwiches, cold cuts, salads.

Let's take a closer look at the topic of canapés today.

What is a canapé? A canape is a tiny mini sandwich weighing from 10 to 30 grams.

In the manufacture of canapés, products such as fruits, vegetables, fish (mainly salmon), deli meats, black olives, olives and many other edible, interesting and tasty things are used.

We cut the ham into thin slices and fold it into four, using a skewer we fix the ham on the bread

We wash the cherry tomatoes, cut them into 2 halves and place them on a skewer. Decorate with a sprig of parsley or dill

Here’s a not complicated, but very original recipe for canapés and not even expensive

On any holiday table there will always be a piece of sausage and bread; instead of cherry tomatoes, you can safely use regular tomatoes. To add a piquant taste of black olives, olives and capers

My second option is suitable for lovers of mozzarella cheese with a combination of cherry tomatoes.

We will need:

• Cherry tomatoes - 100 gr.
• mini mozzarella - 125 gr.
• greenery
• skewers
• mayonnaise - 1 tsp.

Wash the tomatoes and cut them into two halves

Place mini mozzarella on a skewer, then half a cherry tomato

Let's do short distance and repeat - mini mozzarella, cherry tomatoes

Make small dots on top of the tomatoes using mayonnaise. Decorate with greens.

These are the cool mushrooms we got. This snack option is also suitable for vegetarians. Bon appetit, they will certainly surprise your guests with their lightness and beauty.

Original snacks for the holiday table

What is originality? First of all, it is the generation of new ideas. I suggest you generate your ideas using ordinary products. And create something more refined and magical.

And for New Year's table such snacks are suitable, in the form of a snowman from simple products and minimal time investment

We will need:

• boiled carrots - 1 small
• quail egg - 10 pcs.
• pitted olives - 2 pcs.
• greenery
• small skewers

Preparation:

Boil the eggs and peel them. Using a skewer, pierce two eggs in the middle, placing them on top of each other, giving the shape of a snowman

If you are using large skewers, they can be shortened using scissors; cut to the desired length.

Peel the boiled carrots and cut them into thin slices, cut out a small circle

Place a smaller one on a large circle, pierce it onto a skewer on which the eggs are placed

Cut out small pieces of sharp-shaped carrots and insert them in the shape of a nose.

Dry the olives and cut them into small pieces, make buttons and eyes for the snowman

We wash the greens, dry them and insert a sprig of parsley into the cut for the hands of our snowman

This original and not at all complicated snowman is ready. It will not only decorate your table, but will also be an excellent snack.

Now I want to present you with an equally original recipe for another snack. Which, in a way, is also not only a symbol of the new year, but also of winter

We will need:

• mini mozzarella – 125 gr
• pitted olives - 100 gr.
• boiled carrots - 50 gr.
• bell pepper - 50 gr.
• cream cheese - 30 gr.

Preparation:

We fill the butter dish with cream cheese, this will be the base of the head, and combine it with a mini mozzarella (the body). We divide another olive in half; they will serve as wings for us, and attach it to the mozzarella using cream cheese.

Peel the boiled carrots and cut them into thin slices. Cut out 1/4 of the carrot from this plate. This part will be the nose, the remaining half is also attached to the buttercream in the form of legs for our penguin.

We peel the bell pepper and cut it into small triangles, attach it to our head with cream cheese, and use a pastry bag to apply small dots on the penguin’s hat. If you don't have a pastry bag, use a regular bag with the tip cut off.

This amazingly beautiful, and most importantly tasty and healthy little penguin will delight us throughout the celebration.

Cheese and olives are also good, but you shouldn’t forget about fruit either. They are rich in fiber and are simply necessary on our table. I suggest you think about these types of snacks at the holiday

Canapés on fruit skewers

The bright colors of fruits will be at home at any feast. And even more so on the holiday table. In addition to their brightness, they have a fresh taste and pleasant aroma, creating a magical picture of extraordinary beauty.

Fruit canapés on skewers have not only the qualities described above, but also originality. It wouldn’t hurt any housewife to master new recipe such a snack

We will need:

Any fruits that you have: oranges, tangerines, grapes, kiwi, pineapple, etc. It can also be berries. You can use mint to decorate these skewers

Preparation:

First of all, you need to properly prepare the fruit, to be more precise, rinse thoroughly and dry with a dry paper towel.

Washed vegetables must be peeled, if any.

Cut into small cubes of the same size, on average about 2 by 2 cm. If these are berries, then there is no need to cut them, we will plant them whole.

We prepare the skewers, check them for quality and begin to carefully place our fruits exactly in the middle, the color scheme may be different, I advise you to play with it

You can plant small mint leaves between the fruits, which will give our skewers a pleasant aroma

Use only fresh fruit to make your dish look beautiful and high quality

It seems not complicated, but a very necessary snack for any holiday. There is no specific recipe here. Imagine and you will definitely succeed.

Sweet fruit canapes

There are fruit skewers, and there is another type of snack, it is also made from fruit, but is slightly different in its originality

In addition to fruit, you can use other ingredients in canapés, for example, cheese

It will not lose its intensely fresh taste, but thanks to the cheese it will gain some piquancy. Maybe we can try this combination of fruit and cheese

We will need:

• Dutch cheese or brie - 150 gr.
• Fruits - 200 gr.
• Greens or mint
• Colorful skewers

Preparation:

Prepare the fruit, wash and dry, peel, cut into cubes

We cut the cheese with a mold, if it is Dutch, if there is no mold, you can cut it into plates or small cubes

Place cheese on a skewer, greens on the cheese, and your favorite fruit on top of the greens

Remember that in the case of canapés, the cheese should always be lower than the fruit

Don't be afraid to use berries. Thanks to its sweet and sour taste, this canapé is in no way inferior to fruit.

I think that with fruits it has become a little clearer, now we don’t just cut them and put them on a dish, but create some kind of masterpiece. It can be canapés or just fruit on a skewer, and in addition you can use chocolate fondue

Tartlets with caviar

A chic appetizer for a chic table, of course, this is a tartlet with caviar, with the usual name, but extraordinary taste. Someone spreads caviar on a sandwich with butter.

Since we are talking about a holiday table, I suggest using tartlets instead of a regular sandwich. There is nothing special about them, but they give a certain aesthetic appearance to such a snack.

Caviar comes in red and black. Not everyone can afford a black one, but anyone can buy a red one. Let's look at several types of tartlets with red caviar

We will need:

• tartlets
• greenery

Preparation:

This type of classic tartlet with caviar does not have any special features in its preparation. The most important thing that needs to be taken into account is the quality of the products, the tartlets must be absolutely fresh, the caviar must not have a bitter taste

Take one medium tartlet or small size and using a small spoon, place the caviar into the tartlet, carefully spreading it over the entire surface

We wash the greens and shake them free from excess water. You can use both dill and parsley, but dill has a more delicate taste. Decorate the tartlet with a sprig of greenery

You can use the option with the addition of butter or cream cheese

We will need:

• Red caviar
• cream cheese or butter
• greenery
• tartlets

Preparation:

In this form, tartlets, can be used bigger size

Beat the cheese to make it more elastic. You can add chopped dill to the cheese

Apply this mixture to the tartlet and spread over the entire surface.

Place a small mound of caviar on top of the cheese with a small spoon. Decorate with a sprig of greenery

If there is any cream cheese left, you can pipe it into a piping bag and pipe any dots or designs on top of the tartlet.

If you decide to use butter, then before using it in tartlets, be sure to remove it from the refrigerator so that it is at room temperature, so as not to disturb the structure of the tartlet when applying

When buying caviar, be sure to pay attention to its quality; the taste of such a snack largely depends on this

I suggest a more economical option, but no less appetizing and tasty, replace the caviar with herring

Tartlets with herring

Ready-made tartlets make our work easier and at the same time decorate our table. They look very appetizing and beautiful on the holiday table. I suggest you use it with herring filling

We will need:

• Medium sized tartlets
• Boiled beets
• Salted herring fillet
• Greenery
• Bulb onions
• Mayonnaise

Preparation:

First we need to prepare the filling for our dish.

To do this, boil the beets, peel them, and grate them on a fine grater.

Beat the grated carrots with a blender to obtain a homogeneous consistency, add a spoonful of mayonnaise and mix thoroughly

If your filling turns out to be thicker, apply it to the tartlet from a pastry bag, it will look much more interesting

If the mass turns out to be soft and liquid, no problem, just apply it to the tartlet using a small spoon

We cut the herring fillet into small pieces and place it on the filling itself, decorate it with a sprig of greenery on top of the herring. Simple and tasteful

For this type of snack, it is better to use lightly salted herring; if it is too salty, soak it in milk for 3-4 hours, rinse and use for cooking

Festive snacks in tartlets

Every housewife will agree that the situation with unexpected guests is not the most pleasant, but, unfortunately, it is not rare. Naturally, every family has its own proven recipes for quick snacks.

Indeed, there are many recipes, but remembering a recipe is one thing, but preparing it quickly is a completely different story.

Therefore, today we will talk about the fastest ways to prepare quick snacks (with visual photos) and from the most common products.

Quick snacks for the table

These quick snacks are easy to prepare and take little time. For such recipes, the most common products are used that can be found in the refrigerator of any housewife.

Sandwich with tomatoes, cheese and herbs

This sandwich recipe has no nationality. A similar appetizer can be found in traditional Caucasian and Russian cuisine. Before the guests have time to undress in the hallway, there will be a real culinary masterpiece on the table.

Making sandwiches:

1. Slice the bread. The bread is cut into slices. For beauty, it can be cut into triangles or the size of a small canapé;
2. Fry. In a preheated frying pan, fry the pieces of bread with vegetable oil. You don’t need a lot of butter, just enough to brown the bread a little;
3. Let's prepare the filling. While the bread is toasting, prepare the cheese mixture. To do this, pour mayonnaise into a small bowl, grate the processed cheese on a coarse grater and squeeze out the garlic. Mix well and let sit for 5-10 minutes;
4. We spread the filling. Spread the cheese mixture onto the toasted and slightly cooled bread and level it;
5. Let's decorate. Cut the tomatoes into slices and place the slices on bread. If the tomato slices are larger than the bread, then you should divide the tomato into halves. Sprinkle the tomato with salt and place a herb garnish on top.

Tomatoes in the form of a bouquet stuffed with cottage cheese and garlic

The presentation of the dish is incredibly beautiful and will surprise even the most demanding guest, and the combination of garlic and cottage cheese will make this dish an unsurpassed snack.

1. We make cuts. You need to make two cuts crosswise on the tomatoes. The cuts should reach the core of the tomato, but not be through. In addition, the cuts should not reach the stalk by about 1 centimeter. If the cuts are made correctly, the tomato will open in your hand, but will not fall apart;
2. We take out the pulp. We take out the core of the tomato and part of its pulp. Important! There is no need to remove all the pulp from the tomato, leaving only a thin peel. Let some of the pulp remain on its walls. It will be much tastier this way;
3. Let's make the filling. Mix cottage cheese with squeezed garlic, finely chopped herbs and mayonnaise;
4. We spread the filling. Salt the tomatoes. We put the filling into the tomatoes themselves, lightly squeezing the tomato with our hands so that it looks like an unopened tulip flower;
5. Let's decorate. We place tomatoes on a plate in the form of a bouquet and decorate them with parsley or onion stems, imitating the stems of tulips.

The secret to properly preparing an elegant bouquet of tulips lies in the accuracy of the cook.

There is no doubt!

You will do great!

2. After this, we send the liver in pieces into a blender, or into a meat grinder, and turn it into a semi-liquid mass. Once everything is ready, pour into a bowl in which you will prepare the liver “dough” for baking the cakes.
3. Mix the eggs, pour in the required amount of milk, and after that you need to take the flour and add it a little at a time so that there are no lumps. Knead very carefully. The mixture will be thinner than pancake batter, but not by much.

8. Some housewives prefer to layer such a dish with mushrooms and onions, which you have fried in advance and turned into minced meat, or simply onions, caviar - both eggplant and squash - and much more - the filling depends on your taste and imagination. The fillings are divided into as many parts as you have liver cakes.
9. The chicken liver cake is very easy to assemble. The first layer of cake is placed on a flat plate and coated with mayonnaise and garlic. After this, fried carrots and onions are laid out. Everything is covered with a second cake layer, coated again, and so on.
10. We alternate layers exactly until we lay out the last one. We decorate the cake at our discretion - you can use chicken eggs, you can use carrots, fresh cucumbers, fresh herbs - to your taste. Before serving, it is recommended to give the cake a little time to stand and soak.

Lavash snacks

These days, thin pita bread is becoming increasingly popular among snack lovers. Therefore, first of all, let's look at the lavash snacks for the holiday table with photos and detailed recipes.

The simplest of the lavash snacks are rolls, that is, tightly rolled lavash rolls with filling and cut into portions. This is the most convenient of cold appetizers, because you can wrap any filling in pita bread, and when cut it will look appetizing and attractive. We offer you several recipes for cold fillings for quick lavash rolls.

Lavash bags

Cut one of the lavash leaves into ribbons. Place the filling on a small sheet of lavash in the center, collect it in a bag and wrap the “neck” of the bag with a lavash ribbon. Secure the ribbon with a toothpick and bake the “bags” for 10 minutes at 200 degrees. As a filling, use fried meat with onions, or boiled tongue cut into strips with mayonnaise.

The bags can also be made vegetarian - with boiled vegetables and Dutch cheese.

Appetizers on skewers

The simplest type of piece snack - the components are combined to taste and placed in a row on a toothpick or a special skewer. At the base of the snack there may be a piece of bread or a cracker - this will be a mini-sandwich or canapé. Canapés can simply be made from pieces of products that go well together in taste, without bread - then a piece of cheese, a slice of vegetable or a slice of fruit is used as a base, which can be cut into shapes like hearts, circles, or diamonds. Miniature shortcrust pastry tartlets filled with salads are also served on skewers.

Appetizer "Mushrooms"
