Appetizers & starters
Be the first to rate it!

With these quick Christmas canapés, we can fill the holiday table with colorful, varied bites without any fuss in the kitchen. We make a quick homemade mayonnaise and combine fillings like tuna to create four different appetizers. We assemble them in vol-au-vents, tartlets, sliced bread, and appetizer spoons, and just like that, we have a festive spread ready to share with our loved ones.
