Cheesy Bellpepper and Jalapeno Canape
by Tarla Dalal
Canapés are amongst the best choices you can make, to serve as starters at parties, because the dainty roundels are handy to serve and look so appetizing that nobody can refuse one!
In this mouth-watering version, the canapés are topped with colourful bell peppers, crunchy onions, juicy sweet corn and yummy jalapenos. A good dose of cheese gives the topping a luscious mouth-feel and indulgent flavour too.
Mix the topping well with your hands before placing it on the bread roundels, and make sure you serve the Cheesy Bell Pepper and Jalapeno Canapé immediately after baking, while the cheese is still gooey.
You can also try other nice canapés like the Mushroom Canapes and the Parsley and Parsley and Cottage Cheese Canapes .
