Ingredients
- Mini croissants
- Cream cheese
- Turkey slices
- Cucumber slices
- Cherry tomatoes
- Cocktail sticks
- Fresh herbs (optional for garnish)
- Fresh mozzarella balls
- Balsamic glaze (optional)
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the mini croissants. Slice them open gently and spread a thin layer of cream cheese inside each one.
- For a simple yet elegant combination, layer a slice of turkey on top of the cream cheese.
- Add a slice of cucumber and a cherry tomato for some refreshing crunch.
- Carefully assemble the sandwich by closing the croissant, and secure it with a cocktail stick.
- For a more sophisticated version, wrap fresh mozzarella balls with a cocktail stick, drizzle with a bit of balsamic glaze.
- If you prefer a vegetarian option, you can substitute the turkey with grilled vegetables or hummus.
- Arrange your finger foods on a platter and garnish with fresh herbs for an extra touch of flavor and color.
Notes
- These finger foods are best enjoyed fresh but can be prepared in advance and stored in an airtight container for up to 24 hours.
- If preparing in advance, keep the sandwiches separated with parchment paper to avoid sticking.
- For a vegan version, use dairy-free cream cheese and substitute turkey with roasted vegetables or falafel.
- For a gluten-free version, replace croissants with gluten-free options or mini rice cakes.
- Reheat croissants gently in the oven, and avoid microwaving fresh vegetables like cucumbers and tomatoes to prevent sogginess.
