Create elegant finger foods for your year-end party or wine gathering using only convenience store ingredients! This recipe is quick, easy, and guaranteed to be a crowd-pleaser.
Ingredients- 1 Corn Cheese Gratin (from convenience store)
- 1 pack Ivy Crackers (from convenience store)
- 1 Hard-boiled Egg (or 1 slice of cheese)
- Pinch of Parsley Flakes (optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, gather the key ingredients for your delightful canapes from the convenience store. You’ll need the sweet and savory ‘Corn Cheese Gratin’, the crisp and crunchy ‘Ivy Crackers’, and a ‘Hard-boiled Egg’ for a creamy texture. Alternatively, you can use a slice of cheese instead of the egg for a delicious variation!
Step 2
Arrange the Ivy Crackers neatly on a serving plate. These will form the sturdy base of your canapes. Handle the crackers gently to prevent them from breaking.
Step 3
Next, slice the hard-boiled egg into bite-sized pieces (about 1cm thick slices or quarter them) and place them on top of each Ivy Cracker. If you’re using cheese, cut it to fit the cracker size and place it on top. The creaminess of the egg or the richness of the cheese will elevate the flavor of your canapes.
Step 4
Heat the Corn Cheese Gratin in a microwave for about 1 minute and 30 seconds. This will melt the cheese to a gooey consistency and warm it up, making it more appealing. Be careful not to overheat it.
Step 5
Spoon the warm Corn Cheese Gratin generously over the egg (or cheese) on each cracker. The combination of savory corn and melted cheese will create a fantastic taste experience. Avoid overloading to prevent ingredients from sliding off.
Step 6
Finally, sprinkle a pinch of parsley flakes over the canapes for a touch of color and fresh aroma. This step elevates the presentation, making them look like they came from a gourmet restaurant. Now, enjoy these delightful canapes with your favorite wine or beverage to set the perfect year-end party mood!
