Canape Ingredients

Canape Ingredients

Discover the best canape ingredients from Fine Food Specialist available to buy online now. As they generally refer to the various components that go into making these bite-sized appetisers, they can be anything from canape bases to the most sophisticated garnish you use to fill them in.

Typically, tart shells, burger buns or cones are used to make a canape base. Alternatively, you can also use brioche buns or savoury puff pastry cups. These provide a sturdy foundation for the other ingredients and can be flavoured to complement the rest of the one-bite meals.

Canape bases are then garnished with anything from cheese and fruit to meats and vegetables. Quite often chefs add some caviar, truffles and edible flowers to make them taste even better. These garnish ingredients are the toppings or fillings that add flavour and texture to the base.

Other popular options include smoked salmon, goat cheese, prosciutto and fruits like figs or grapes. These garnishes can be sliced or diced to fit on the base and can be arranged in a variety of ways for visual appeal.

Creating easy canape recipes can be simple with the right ingredients. For example, a cranberry and brie canape can be made by topping a brioche burger with a slice of brie cheese and a spoonful of cranberry sauce. This easy recipe can be assembled in just a few minutes and is perfect for entertaining.
