MUSHROOM AND CREAM CHEESE CANAPES
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!

Steps:
- Cut each slice of bread diagonally in two. Spread butter thinly over each triangle, place, buttered side up, on a cookie sheet and lightly brown in the oven or broil very briefly.

- Bake, frozen, at 375ºF for 10 minutes. Serve hot.
SPANISH OLIVE & CREAM CHEESE CANAPES (ZWT-8)
Found at epicurious.com when I went looking for Spanish olive recipes. I love using Spanish olives & I hope you will as well. This recipe is simple, but the best part of it is the option to do nearly everything a dy ahead. Only the final step of broiling the canapes needs to be done just prior to serving if you choose the day-ahead option (Pls note my tip at then end of the prep steps). *Enjoy!*

Steps:
- Put oven rack in middle position & preheat oven to 375°F
- Cut 40 sml rounds from bread slices w/cutter, then brush 1 side of ea round w/butter & bake on a lrg baking sheet until pale golden (about 8 min). Remove from oven, but leave toasts on baking sheet. Preheat broiler.
- Finely grate Parmigiano-Reggiano using rasp (yield = approx 1 cup). You may use a pre-grated variety if able to find.
- Mash together cream cheese, olives, scallion, bell pepper, paprika & sherry until combined well. Then top each toast w/1 tsp cream cheese mixture & sprinkle w/grated Parmigiano-Reggiano.
- Broil canapés about 4 in from heat until Parmigiano-Reggiano begins to turn golden (about 1 min).
- COOK NOTES: Toasts can be made 1 dy ahead, cooled completely & then kept in an airtight container at room temperature. The cream cheese mixture can be made 1 dy ahead (chill & cover). Bring to room temp before using.
- MY TIP: My choice would be to brush the bread slices while still whole & then cut the rounds. This would mean far less time spent handling 40 sml pieces of bread.
Tips:
- For a smooth and creamy mixture, use softened cream cheese at room temperature.
- For a richer flavor, substitute sour cream with an equal amount of crème fraîche.
- Add chopped herbs, grated lemon zest, or minced garlic to the cream cheese mixture for a boost of flavor.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture on crackers, bread slices, or cucumber rounds just before serving to keep them crispy.
- To make the canapés more visually appealing, top them with caviar, smoked salmon, or chopped nuts.
Conclusion:
Cream cheese canapés are a versatile and easy-to-make appetizer that can be customized to suit any occasion.
