Radish And Goat Cheese Canapes Recipes

Steps:

• Trim the tops from the radishes and wash and pat dry. Chop some of the brightest and freshest tops to make two-thirds cup.
• Pulse the chopped tops with the goat cheese in a small food processor until nearly smooth.
• Thinly slice the radishes. Slice the baguette thin and lightly toast.
• Spread 2 - 3 teaspoons of the goat cheese mixture on each slice. Top each slice with 3 or 4 radish slices and sprinkle with coarse salt. Serve on a platter lined with remaining radish tops.

Steps:

• In a food processor, puree the blue and cream cheeses until very smooth. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Fold the whipped cream into the mousse until well blended. There should be no lumps. Transfer the mousse to a pastry bag fitted with a round tip. Pipe the mousse onto the white bread rounds and top each with a radish slice. Serve.

Steps:

• Mix olives, scallions, mint, and butter in a bowl. Season with pepper. Spread olive butter onto each baguette slice. Thinly slice radishes. Layer 2 or 3 slices on top of each canape.

Steps:

• Spread six slices of bread with the cheese and six with the butter.
• Cover the cheese with a layer of overlapping radish slices. Cover with the buttered bread. Wrap each sandwich in plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• To serve, cut each sandwich in four and arrange the canapes on a platter. Decorate the platter with whole radishes.

Steps:

• In a bowl stir together goat cheese, cream, and salt and pepper to taste until combined and transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a 1/4-inch tip. (Alternatively, transfer mixture to a small heavy-duty sealable plastic bag and press out excess air. Snip off 1 corner, making a small hole.) Cheese mixture may be made 2 days ahead and chilled in bag. Bring cheese mixture to room temperature before proceeding.
• Trim radish tops to 1/2 inch and halve radishes lengthwise. Decoratively pipe mixture onto radish halves.
• Garnish hors d'oeuvres with chervil.

Steps:

• Top each cracker with basil, cheese and tomato, and voila! you have a canape!
