Snacks

We have made a lot of snacks yesterday for our aperif with friends.  Here are some ideas.

Tulips from Amsterdam

Only for the patient chefs!

13 Large cherry tomatoes
14 Stalks of chives
200g Cottage cheese or other soft white cheese
1 Cucumber (optional)
½ Teaspoon dried basil (optional)
Salt and pepper

Tip: Use a piping bag (we didn't think of it)

Time consuming, buy de-stoned dades

Dades

We filled the dades with goat cheese and wrapped them in bacon.
About 15 minutes in the oven and you'll have a lovely bite.

Eggs

The eggs were filled besides the egg yolk with red pesto and a mix of yoghurt and mayonaise.

Ladybirds

Cherry tomatoes and black olives make really cute lady birds. Base is made up of sliced baguettes, cream cheese, smoked salmon and flat leafed parsley. Dots on body can be ground black pepper or cut pieces of olives and the eyes are dots of cream cheese.
