What if we revisited appetizers? Here are 10 inspiring recipes that let sweetness appear on our aperitif toasts, making them as tasty as they are original.
In the kitchen, anything is possible. When preparing a dish, nothing stops us from having fun discovering new taste associations. Among the best known: the sweet-salty mixture. It doesn't always please, but is more and more unanimous, especially since we find it on restaurant menus. A trend that fits into consumption habits and can be used in any sauce. There are no rules, so enjoy yourself!
And what's better than enjoying an aperitif with family or friends? Put away the chips, we recommend these delicious sweet and savory toasts.
Spreadables, great favorites for aperitifs
Unlike the main course, the aperitif is not automatically on the menu. It is often occasional and traditionally consists of simple and quick things to peck. A little cold meats, a few vegetable sticks, chips, other appetizers and toasts.
Most of the time, these toasted rolls are accompanied by terrines, rillettes, salmon or cheese. Something to spread them and make these appetizers the darlings of the table. These savory toasts with spring vegetables are excellent, so why not take advantage of the opportunity to pull out all the stops? Dare to revisit them, with a simple addition of fruit, honey or pomegranate, you will make your classic aperitifs a real moment of festivities.
Cheese and fruit, the perfect combination
With honey and some fruit, any cheese will be exquisite. A perfect combination both taste and visual. Cheese, which is a tasty product, is also “neutral”, in the sense that it goes well with any other food. A little salmon and ricotta, avocado sprinkled with feta or even cherry jam on tomme cheese, these combinations are endless and open up the possibilities for stunning aperitif sandwiches.
Dare to be original!
If you are planning an aperitif and you don't know what to prepare, we suggest you surprise your guests with these few original recipes. One thing is certain, you will not have done things by halves.
