FIVE EASY PARTY CANAPÉS

Turn simple sandwich bread and a handful of colorful toppings into an elegant party platter. These five bite-size canapés are creamy, fresh and easy to customize for holidays, brunches or last-minute entertaining.

Ingredients:

• 15 slices soft white sandwich bread
• 4 hard-boiled eggs, finely chopped
• ⅓ cup mayonnaise
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 10 cherry tomatoes
• 12 oz cream cheese, softened and divided
• ½ cup roasted red peppers, drained
• ½ tsp smoked paprika
• 6 baby corn pieces
• ⅓ cup basil pesto

• 6 small sautéed mushroom slices
• 1 ripe avocado, mashed
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1 medium carrot, shaved into thin ribbons
• Fresh parsley, rosemary, chives and basil leaves
• Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste

Directions:

1. Cut two 2½-inch rounds from each bread slice. Arrange the bread rounds on a clean board and keep them covered so they stay soft.
2. For the egg canapés, mix the eggs with mayonnaise, mustard, salt and pepper. Pipe or spoon onto the bread, then finish with a cherry-tomato half and parsley.
3. For the roasted-pepper canapés, blend 4 ounces cream cheese with the roasted peppers, paprika, salt and pepper. Pipe onto the bread and garnish with baby corn, rosemary and parsley.
