Canapes are the quintessential hors d’oeuvres.  You can pile any tasty combination on a slice of bread (or puff pastry, or flat bread, etc.).  These are some of my favorites…

Roasted Beef & Horseradish Cream Canapes 25 canapes 2 baguettes, sliced into 1/2 inch toasts 1 packages of cream cheese, softened 2 tablespoons of horseradish 1 tablespoon of dijon mustard salt & pepper 1 pound of Roast Beef, sliced flat leaf parsley Mix together cream cheese, horseradish, dijon, salt & pepper.  Spread the mixture onto each slice of bread.  Top with a thin slice of beef and sprinkling of parsley, salt & pepper.

Roasted Red Pepper & Blue Cheese Canapes 24 canapes 2 baguettes, sliced into 1/2 inch pieces 1 large jar of roasted red peppers, sliced 8 ounces of blue cheese, crumbled pepper parsley On a baking sheet, spread out the slices of bread.  Pile the peppers and blue cheese on each piece.  Put them in the oven under the low broiler for 2-3 minutes just until the blue cheese melts.  Sprinkle with parsley and fresh black pepper.
