Treat your ingredients with care...

- Cream cheese — Make sure the cream cheese is softened before spreading it on the baguette slices. This will ensure a smooth and creamy texture.
Tips & Tricks
- Experiment with different toppings such as thinly sliced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, or fresh herbs like basil or parsley.
- For a touch of sweetness, drizzle a small amount of honey or balsamic glaze over the canapés before serving.
- If you prefer a tangy flavor, add a squeeze of lemon juice to the cream cheese before spreading it on the baguette slices.
- To save time, you can prepare the toasted baguette slices in advance and assemble the canapés just before serving.
- Don't be afraid to get creative with the presentation. Arrange the toppings in different patterns or shapes to make the canapés visually appealing.
