Canapes

A canape is a small bite-sized hor d'oeuvre (appetizer).  Canapes are often served as party food, but these cucumber canapes are also the perfect addition to brunch.  These small bites come together in 5 minutes and are perfect for an appetizer or brunch spread such as a Mother's Day celebration.

Four ingredients

• cucumber
• garlic and herb cheese spread
• sun-dried tomatoes
• fresh basil

Top slices of cucumber with a dollop of cheese spread.  I like to use Boursin garlic and herb spread.  Then top with sun-dried tomatoes and a fresh basil leaf.  Finish with a touch of salt, if desired.
