Sausage and Cheese Canapés on Skewers

So festive and tasty they make you want more!!! When it comes to appetizers, canapés are a great option. Tell me, what could be better than a crispy slice of white bread with tender cheese, smoked sausage, juicy cucumber, and a black olive to finish?!

Cooking method

Cooking time: 25 min

Step 1:

Take a loaf or white bread and cut out small squares with a knife. My squares came out just under 4 cm - 3.8 cm, to be exact. You can change the size, but keep in mind that canapés can't be too big (then it's not a canapé but a sandwich), and these can't be too small either (because of the cucumber). Dry the pieces lightly in an oven preheated to 180°C for 5 minutes so they're crisp on the outside but soft inside.
Step 2:

Now cut the cheese slices the same way as the squares; they should be the same size. Wash the cucumber, dry it, and cut it into thin strips on a slicer so they're easy to work with later and bend nicely. Use pre-sliced sausage too, like the cheese, since these canapés will look neater.
Step 3:

Now that all the ingredients are ready, let's assemble the canapés. Lightly brush the crisp pieces of bread with a little butter to make the canapés more tender. Put a square of cheese on each piece.
Step 4:

Now assemble the other part of the canapé. Take a skewer (preferably bamboo or wooden - plastic ones cheapen the dish and look cheap) and thread on an olive (use pitted olives). Now thread on the cucumber in a wavy motion. Fold a piece of sausage in half, then in half again, and thread it on the skewer too. Do this with all the skewers and ingredients that need threading.
Step 5:

Take a skewer with all the ingredients threaded on it and stick it into the center of a piece of bread with cheese. Repeat with the remaining skewers and bread-and-cheese squares.

Note that in step one you should watch carefully so the bread squares don't over-dry, since everyone's ovens are different and bake differently. I recommend serving these canapés right after making them, so the bread doesn't go soft (from the butter), the cucumber doesn't have time to release juices, and none of the ingredients dry out. And one more thing: make more - this is a very small portion, suitable only for a romantic dinner.
