French · Appetizer · 30 min total

Elegant and versatile, these bite-sized canapés are perfect for parties. Featuring a creamy herbed cheese topping on crisp toast rounds, they can be customized with various garnishes.

Ingredients

• 1 baguette, sliced into 24 (1/2-inch) rounds
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1/4 cup sour cream
• 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
• 1/4 cup fresh chives, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh dill, finely chopped
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
• 24 small fresh dill sprigs or chive pieces for garnish
• Optional: smoked salmon, cucumber slices, or cherry tomato halves

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush lightly with olive oil. Toast for 8-10 minutes until golden and crisp. Let cool.
2. In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, sour cream, lemon juice, chopped chives, chopped dill, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
3. Spread about 1 teaspoon of the herbed cheese mixture onto each cooled baguette round.
4. Garnish each canapé with a small dill sprig or chive piece. If desired, top with a small piece of smoked salmon, a thin cucumber slice, or a cherry tomato half.
5. Arrange on a serving platter and serve immediately, or refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.

Tips

• For make-ahead, prepare the herbed cheese mixture up to 2 days in advance and toast the baguette slices up to 1 day ahead. Assemble just before serving.
• To keep canapés fresh, cover loosely with plastic wrap if refrigerating.
• Experiment with different herbs like tarragon or basil for variety.
