Let’s get started!
- 1 Cutting Board - 1 Knife - 1 Toaster
– Bread Rounds Garlic Herb – 4 ounces 113 grams cream cheese, softened – 2 cloves garlic minced – 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs – Salt and pepper to taste – 1 ripe avocado – 1 tablespoon lemon juice – Salt and pepper to taste
1. First, prepare the ingredients by preheating the oven to 350°F (175°C) or using a toaster to crisp up approximately 10-12 slices of crusty bread. Set them aside to cool slightly 2. Next, ready the avocados by halving, pitting, and scooping out the flesh into a bowl. Mash the avocado with a fork until smooth, then add a squeeze of lemon juice to prevent browning. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
3. In a separate bowl, mix approximately 4-6 ounces (113-170 grams) of garlic herb cream cheese until smooth and creamy. Optionally, add a dash of lemon juice or extra herbs for additional flavor. 4. To assemble the canapés, spread a generous layer of the garlic herb cream cheese onto each toast round, covering the entire surface evenly.
5. Then, spoon a dollop of mashed avocado on top of the cream cheese layer, spreading it evenly to cover the toast. 6. For the finishing touch, optionally garnish the canapés with chopped fresh herbs, red pepper flakes, sliced cherry tomatoes, or microgreens. Drizzle with balsamic glaze for a touch of sweetness and acidity. Arrange the finished canapés on a serving platter and serve immediately as an appetizer or snack.
7. Enjoy these flavorful Canapés with Garlic Herb Cream Cheese and Avocado as a delicious and elegant addition to your next gathering or party!
