SPANISH OLIVE AND CREAM CHEESE CANAPES



Spanish Olive and Cream Cheese Canapes image

The toasts can be made a day ahead for this, and also the cream cheese mixture should be prepared a day ahead then covered and refrigerated, as the flavor will enhance if left overnight to chill, but bring to almost room temperature before spreading on the toasts. This will make about 36-40 canapes, and they are easy to make and delicious!

Time 1h

Yield 35-40 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

10 -12 slices white bread (just use sliced regular sandwich bread for this, can be a day old and place in the fridge overnight)
2 -3 tablespoons butter, melted (no subs!)
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese (or to taste) or 1/4 cup romano cheese (or to taste)
3/4 cup cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup pimento stuffed olive, finely chopped

  • Set oven to 375 degrees.
  • Set oven rack to middle position.
  • Cut out about 40 rounds with a 1-1/2 - 2-inch round cookie or biscuit cutter (can use end of a small glass but be very careful not to break glass, a biscuit cutter works the best!).

  • Bake for about 8 minutes, or until golden brown (leave the toasts on the baking sheet).
  • Set oven to broiler heat.
  • In a bowl mix together cream cheese, olives, green onion or scallions, red bell pepper and paprika (add a couple teaspoons of dry sherry in if you have some) mix until well combined.

I LOVE OLIVES AND CREAM CHEESE SPREAD



I Love Olives and Cream Cheese Spread image

What's not to love? This is an easy make-ahead appetizer that takes 15 minutes to prepare and is so yummy it will be gone 15 minutes after you set it on the table. Pitted black olives and pimiento-stuffed Spanish/Manzanilla olives make it look as colorful as it is delicious. Serve it with crackers or crispinis. I also use it as a sandwich spread...it really spruces up a plain old cold-cut or deli sandwich.

MUSHROOM AND CREAM CHEESE CANAPES



Mushroom and Cream Cheese Canapes image

I've been on a mushroom kick lately, and these have been very popular. You can make the mushroom mixture up to 2 days in advance and just put it together and pop it under the broiler when your guests arrive. Actually, who needs guests, these are a wonderful indulgence when alone as well!
