Festive Canapes

Here are festive and easy-to-make finger food ideas that all use a little Island Farms Victoria Style Cream Cheese to deliciously hold them together.

Grilled Zucchini with Roasted Peppers and Olives:
Using high heat, grill or pan-sear 1/4 inch thick rounds of zucchini until firm-tender. Cool. Top with a teaspoon of cream cheese, a strip of roasted red pepper, a slice of black olive, and a sprig of oregano or basil. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

Prosciutto and Pomegranate Canapes:
Spread lightly toasted bite-sized slices of Italian bread with cream cheese. Top with a slice of prosciutto and garnish with pomegranate seeds.

Dilled Crab in Belgian Endive:
Pipe cream cheese into a Belgian endive leaf. Top it with a little tinned or fresh cooked crab meat, finely diced red pepper, and sprig of fresh dill.

Smoked Salmon and Asparagus:
Top a small square or round of rye bread with a teaspoon of cream cheese and a little horseradish. Set a small slice of smoked salmon on top. Garnish with a lightly cooked and cooled asparagus tip and a grind of black pepper.
