Best 2 Avocado Canapés Recipes

AVOCADO AND CRABMEAT CANAPES

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil.
• Peel the avocado and remove the pit. Puree in a food processor along with the lime juice and fresh coriander. Transfer to a bowl, fold in the crabmeat and season to taste with salt and cayenne pepper.
• Beat the egg white with a pinch of salt until they hold firm peaks but are still creamy. Stir one-fourth of the egg whites into the avocado mixture then fold in the rest.
• Arrange the chips on the baking sheet, spoon some of the avocado mixture onto each and broil until lightly browned. Transfer to a serving dish and serve at once.

AVOCADO CANAPES STUFFED WITH GOAT CHEESE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place pine nuts on a baking sheet; bake until golden brown and fragrant, about 5 minutes. Chop nuts; set aside.
• Arrange five 8-by-8-inch sheets plastic wrap on work surface. Be sure they are smooth and free of wrinkles.
• In a small bowl, stir together pine nuts, goat cheese, and red bell pepper; season with salt and pepper. Set aside.
• Place 4 overlapping slices of avocado on each piece of plastic wrap. Combine lime juice and 1 teaspoon olive oil in a small bowl; brush mixture on avocado. Working with one avocado portion, top with 1 tablespoon goat cheese mixture; bring together corners of plastic wrap, and twist tightly, shaping the avocado into a ball. Continue to twist until plastic wrap breaks, releasing canape. Repeat with remaining avocado.
