Practical and festive, you will love them. Discover our ten recipes for summer verrines, perfect for a quick and well-made aperitif!
Chic, the verrine? Yes, but above all practical! It allows you to present recipes in individual versions without using plates. We can thus enjoy ourselves by dipping our spoons into summer soups, creams and mousses.
Manual
Play of textures, explosion of colors, mixture of flavors, all craziness is permitted. In summer, we rely on seasonal vegetables for refreshing verrines. As an aperitif, for example, offer an original gazpacho to drink in a shooter. We can then contrast everything with the crunch of a few crushed hazelnuts or a tile of parmesan. Cheese is also an essential element of the verrines. With its countless varieties, it brings creaminess and deliciousness to our summer aperitif.
For even more lightness, we also think about offering salads by the glass. An original version of presenting the caprese salad or the classic melon-raw ham duo. Meat or fish-based recipes are also easy to decline in small portions. We definitely adopt the mini-tartares in verrine version, so practical to make.
Best of all, most verrines can be prepared in advance. We therefore avoid last-minute stress and make the most of the present moment. Far from being boring, the glass is clever and is even becoming trendy again!

#jarcuterie
The latest foodie craze? Jarcuterie, or “appetizers in a jar.” The concept is simple: transform the traditional sharing platter into individual portions. To do this, place a small handful of dried fruit in the bottom of the jars. Add the slices of cold cuts, rolled if possible, and try to make them stand upright. Arrange a skewer of the cheese of your choice and finish with a few olives or aperitif biscuits if desired.
Ready in no time, you can adapt them according to tastes, and even offer vegetarian jars. In this case, opt for raw vegetable sticks to dip in hummus and guacamole. We love.
In addition to being original, verrines allow you to respect barrier gestures. They avoid crowding around the buffet and hands wandering over the food. Verrines definitely have it all.
