    What Is A Canape?

    Usually served on a cracker or slice of bread, canapés are an assortment of delicious, bite-sized appetizers served before the meal.

    How to Serve Canapés

    • Perfect canapés are bite-sized so guests can eat them easily. To prevent a soggy mess, choose a strong canapé base like a cracker or toast.
    • Presentation is everything! Garnish canapés with a flower, herbs, or cracked black pepper.
    • To create a perfect canapé platter, lay the base of each canapé onto a serving tray and add a small spoonful of spread. Press a topping of your choice on top (cucumber bits, for example), and garnish. Ready to serve!
