What are we taking to your sister's on the 25th?
What's my brother-in-law bringing on the 31st?

We have already given you a considerable number of solutions and answers to these questions.

Canapé recipe

6 step-by-step ideas

Idea 1: Balls

1. In a silicone chocolate mold or ice cube tray, cut a square of raw ham and line each of the squares.
2. Finely chop the bell pepper and add it to the cream cheese. Fill the holes, flatten, and seal with the excess prosciutto. Place in the freezer.
3. Line the mold with salmon squares. Fill with cream cheese mixed with chopped capers. Seal. Place in the freezer.

Idea 2: Fake sushi

1. Using a rolling pin, flatten the milk bread. Spread with cream cheese (you can also add capers if you like).
2. Cut the salmon into strips. Place a rectangle of smoked salmon on half of the cheese sandwich bread, add a strip of avocado, and roll it up like sushi . (This is clearly visible in the video.)
3. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to eat.

Idea 3: skewers

1. Cut the cheese into cubes. (It can be mozzarella, fresh cheese, boconccino, whatever you like!)
2. Assemble the skewer with the olive on the bottom, the cheese, and finally the cherry tomatoes.
3. Make melon balls (if you don't have a cone, you can make them with a small spoon).
4. Assemble the skewer with rolled raw ham and melon.
5. Before serving, add basil and olive oil to both types of skewers.

Idea 4: Sticks

1. Cut the breadsticks in half. Mix the cream cheese with the grated cheese and oregano.
2. Spread one end with the cheese mixture and wrap with a slice of cooked ham.
3. You can also make it with the combinations from idea 1, remember? (Raw ham + cream cheese with bell peppers, and smoked salmon + cream cheese with capers) or whatever you can think of!

Idea 5: Toast

1. Cut a piece of Brie cheese and place it on toast (it can be store-bought or homemade).
2. Add a teaspoon of blueberry jam on top of the cheese.

Idea 6: Avocado Dip

1. Mix the cream cheese with the sliced avocado.
2. Add salt and lemon.
3. Spread some crackers or toast on the surface, add a few slices of cherry tomatoes, and drizzle with olive oil.

Here they are all together and finished

You can make them in a thousand different ways!
