This is an easy and tasty version of canapes with egg and chives  – little tea sandwiches. If you have leftover eggs from Easter, whip ’em out and make these canapes. They are so simple, I’m embarrassed to call this a recipe… It’s an idea and a darn good one!

I’ve completed my first semester of nursing school!! Pharmacology – I will not miss you! I am so thankful to God for giving me a brain like a sponge. It’s amazing how much the human brain can absorb!

I probably learned more in 1 semester of nursing school than in all 4 years of business school. Nursing is a different world with a language all its own. So, I’m doing a little celebration dance (internally, since I have zero dancing skills). This calls for celebration, with canapes of course!

I thought I’d post something to mark the passing of my first semester. I made these egg and chive crostini a couple of weeks ago and forgot to post them. I’m really making ceviche tonight (now that’s what I call party food!). 

Ingredients for Canapes with Eggs and Chives:

6 oz package “The Laughing Cow” Original Creamy Swiss flavor cheeses (8 wedges in a package)
2 to 3 garlic cloves (add more or less depending on preference)
2 Tbsp real mayo
1 long baguette, sliced about 1/4″ to 1/3″ thick
2 Tbsp butter, melted
2-3 hard-boiled eggs
3-4 Tbsp fresh chives, chopped (parsley also makes a great garnish)

How to Make Canapes:

Preheat the oven to 350 ˚ F.
1. Slice the bread in to half inch slices. Place them on a baking sheet and lightly brush both sides with melted butter.

2. Bake 5 minutes, or until they are just starting to golden. Do the ”poke” test with your finger to make sure they are still soft in the center. Let these cool to room temperature. It’s ok if they are still a little warm when spreading.

3.Unwrap the laughing cow cheese and place in small bowl. Peel and finely grate the garlic cloves into the bowl.

    Why do use a grater for garlic as opposed to a garlic press? Just curious. So much easier! BTW – love your recipes.

      Hi Maryann, I just personally prefer using it but garlic press is also a very helpful kitchen tool.

    Thanks for the recipe. I have enjoyed these as an appetizer when I visited family in Ukraine. I tried to replicate the recipe back in Canada but was unsure of what cheese to use. The only difference is that I think that they mixed the grated egg in with the cheese though. Delicious memories!

    One thing that we add to these is pomegranate on top with the chives. Sounds weird but it is super good. 🙂

    Instead of the laughing cow cheese, can you use regular cream cheese?

      Yes but it won’t have the same flavor. And the laughing cow cheese is easier to blend with the mayo.

        Hi Jul! You can make the mixture the day before but I would recommend topping the bread the day of to keep the bread from getting soggy

    These look so yummy, nice to have variety from usual meat sandwiches. I’m always using mayo and the cheese would be even better for spread. Thanks for great idea!
