Easy Homemade Canape
5-Minute Finger Food Canape Recipe Using Ingredients You Already Have
My husband suddenly craved canapes after skipping dinner, so I quickly whipped them up! Luckily, I had crackers and most of the ingredients needed. These are perfect for a late-night snack, a delightful accompaniment to a glass of wine or beer, or even as a nutritious snack for kids. Let’s make these delicious finger food canapes!
Ingredients- Crackers, 2-3 packs (choose your favorite)
- Sliced cheese, 2-4 slices
- Canned tuna, 1 can
- Mayonnaise, 2 Tbsp
- Ketchup, 1 Tbsp
- Cucumber, 1/2
- Tomato, 1
- Kiwi, 1
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Drain the oil completely from the canned tuna. In a bowl, combine the tuna with 2 tablespoons of mayonnaise and 1 tablespoon of ketchup. Mix well to create the tuna salad topping.
Step 2
Arrange the crackers neatly on a large tray or plate. You can use any type of cracker you like, from plain ones to savory crackers or vegetable crackers.
Step 3
Thinly slice the cucumber into approximately 0.3mm thick rounds. Prepare as many slices as you have crackers. Thin slices make them more pleasant to eat.
Step 4
Place one slice of cucumber onto each cracker. The crisp texture of the cucumber will add a delightful crunch.
Step 5
Thinly slice the tomato to match the number of crackers. If using a larger tomato, you can slice it into rounds, or use cherry tomatoes halved for a cute presentation.
Step 6
Layer the sliced tomato on top of the cucumber on each cracker. The vibrant red of the tomato makes the canapes look even more appetizing.
Step 7
Cut the sliced cheese into quarters or nine pieces, depending on your preference and cracker size. Place the cheese pieces on top of the tomato.
Step 8
Generously spoon the prepared tuna salad mixture over the tomato and cheese layers. The rich flavor of the tuna combined with the creaminess of the mayonnaise will be a delight.
Step 9
Finally, garnish each canape with a triangle-shaped slice of kiwi. Feel free to use other fruits like pineapple, strawberries, tangerines, or oranges, depending on the season or your preference, for a personalized touch!
Step 10
And there you have it – beautiful and delicious finger food canapes, ready to impress! Enjoy these simple yet elegant homemade canapes for any occasion.
