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. The laughing cow cheese works beautifully as an easy spread.
Ingredients
- 6 oz package “The Laughing Cow” Original Creamy Swiss flavor cheeses, 8 wedges
- 2 to 3 garlic cloves, or to taste
- 2 tablespoons real mayo
- 1 long baguette, sliced about 1/4″ to 1/3″ thick
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2-3 hard-boiled eggs
- 3-4 tablespoons fresh chives, chopped (parsley also makes a great garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
-
Slice the bread in to half inch slices. Place them on a baking sheet and
-
lightly brush both sides with melted butter.
-
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.
-
Unwrap the laughing cow cheese and place in small bowl. Peel and finely grate the garlic cloves into the bowl.
-
Mash together laughing cow cheese, garlic and mayo, just until smooth.
-
Spread desired amount on each baguette slice.
-
Finely grate egg over each baguette slice and sprinkle with fresh chives (or freshly chopped parsley) for garnish.
