Instructions
Cut your meats and cheeses into 1 1/2 inch rounds using a small cookie or biscuit cutter.
If you don’t have a cutter you can cut small squares to fit on the RITZ Crackers.
Layer your canapes in any order that you like, and add garnishes to make lots of different combinations.
Finish each with a fresh herb or sprinkle of spice or nuts to add visual interest.
Alternately you can lay out everything for your family and friends to create their own RITZ canapes.
Serve your canapes right away.
Notes:
Don’t assemble your canapes too far in advance or the crackers can soften from the moisture in the toppings.
You can prep the ingredients ahead of time, just store them under damp paper towels (wrap in plastic) in the refrigerator to keep them fresh.
Then assemble just before you need them.
