Notes & Wine Advice
Serving Suggestions
Top these crisp canapé bases shortly before serving so the bread stays crunchy. They work particularly well for an Amuse or Appetizer. Try toppings such as smoked salmon, cream cheese, pâté, cheese, roasted vegetables or your favourite savoury spread.Recipe Notes
Use a small star-shaped cutter that allows you to cut approximately three stars from each slice of bread. Brush the bread lightly rather than soaking it with butter so the canapé bases become crisp in the Airfryer.Variations
Different small cutters can be used to adapt these Bread bases for different occasions. Stars are particularly suitable for festive serving, while circles, hearts or other shapes can be used when appropriate.Storage Advice
Allow the toast bases to cool completely before transferring them to an airtight container. Store for up to 1 day and add moist toppings only shortly before serving to prevent the bread from becoming soft.Wine Advice
The best wine depends mainly on the topping. A fresh Sauvignon Blanc works well with lighter vegetable or fresh cheese toppings, while a Chardonnay can suit richer cheese or creamy toppings.Nutrition values
