Snack on crackers with curd cheese

Festive snacks are hearty thanks to the sausage. Smoked is used in this recipe, but ham is also suitable. One point: the sausage should be uniform for the convenience of forming a bend, large pieces of bacon can interfere or fall out ugly. Do not confuse curd cheese with curd, this characteristic soft mass can be found in any supermarket. An appetizer with a hand-made melted cheese sandwich will be even tastier. We use spices to taste, but I recommend paprika: it gives the cheese a pleasant red hue. So this ingredient will be combined with the sausage not only in taste, but also in color. So, the recipe for a New Year's snack is in front of you.

Ingredients:

• 100 g salted crackers (20 pcs.);
• 250 g of curd cheese;
• paprika, black pepper to taste;
• a few twigs or leaves of fresh herbs (parsley, dill, basil, lettuce);
• 100 g olives or olives (20 pcs.);
• 100 g cold cuts (10 slices).

Cooking method:

1. Mix curd cheese with paprika, salt and pepper with a spoon in a bowl. If the sausage is salty, then do not salt too much. Let the neutral taste of cheese make the appetizer harmonious, because there will be more olive. Spices not only color, but also make the dish more appetizing. The aromas of paprika and black pepper stimulate the appetite, but what else is needed at a rich New Year's table?
2. Slice the sausage thinly. It is advisable to cut the sausage stick at an angle so that the pieces are elongated. We divide each plastic into 2 more parts across. Depending on the size of the crackers, make sure that the piece fits freely on top of it.
3. Fill a pastry bag with cheese and apply the mixture to the cracker in a circle, from edge to center. It turns out a relief layer of cheese cream. Crackers are needed exactly salted, preferably round, but small square ones are also possible. Check how easy it is to bite into a cookie. It is good if it is dense, but easily breaks.
4. We decorate all the cookies this way. By the way, you can make a piping bag yourself. Make a square out of a sheet of parchment paper and fold it diagonally. It turned out to be a triangle. Turn obtuse upward and fold the funnel from one sharp corner to the next. Cut the edge of the funnel obliquely or shape the end of the funnel into an embossed pattern. Done, now you can fill the curd mass and decorate the crackers. This confectionery syringe is used once.
5. We put the pieces of sausage deep into the cheese mass in a zigzag at an angle, as in the photo. You get something like the Latin letter S. The cheese mass is dense, it will keep the sausage in the desired shape. Try not to touch the cream with your fingers so that there are no ugly dents left. By the way, the thinner you cut the plastics, the easier it will be to form such a wave.
6. Place olives and sprigs of greens in the bend of the sausage (do not forget to wash the greens). Greens not only add color to the snack, but also refresh it. Instead of parsley, you can use a crispy iceberg salad, the taste of green basil in the appetizer will also not be superfluous. Olives can be replaced with gherkins, olives - something salty and small.
7. A festive snack with curd cheese on crackers is ready. Place it on a wide, flat dish and serve.

Holidays surround us all year round, so how many reasons can there be in order to gather family and friends at the table and treat them to delicious homemade dishes. And every time I want to please guests not only with branded family recipes, but also with original tasty novelties. Who doesn't like to surprise and delight? For a long time, cheese and a variety of dishes made from it have become an integral part of treats, it is especially good in hot dishes and salads, but one should not forget about snacks. Therefore, in this article, I decided to talk about what kind of cheese snacks on the festive table can be prepared for any reason and without much hassle and cost.

I decided to diversify the recipes so that I could choose the options for appetizers from what products are available and which ones are preferred by the chefs. But this time it will be recipes for cold cheese snacks.

Cheese snack - cheese platter

First of all, what comes to our minds when we want to serve cheese snacks on the festive table? Of course, an elegant cheese platter. Beautifully decorating a cheese platter for a festive table can be considered a real culinary art, which can also be learned. I will tell you a few principles and methods of laying cheese slices.

Most importantly, any number of different cheeses can participate in cheese slicing, it is limited only by your budget, the number of guests and common sense. Still, there should be room for the rest of the treats.

When choosing cheeses for slicing, rely on your tastes and the tastes of your guests, but be sure to add something new, not previously tried. Head to the store and buy several varieties of different cheeses, including blue cheese and various toppings. They will not only be delicious, but also very liven up the cheese plate. Don't forget the classic cheeses, too, to please conservative guests.

According to the available cheeses, their quantity and properties, determine in what form they can be served on the table.

Hard cheeses are excellently cut into very thin, almost translucent slices. You can cut them yourself using a cheese slicer or ask the seller in the store to do it on a professional slazer.

Thin petals of hard cheeses can be folded in a wave, rolled into tubes and even shaped into roses. They will not break at the fold and tear.

Slightly softer cheeses and cheeses with a large number of small holes can be cut into larger cubes, thicker triangular slices. The main thing is to make the pieces not too large, just such that one portion can be easily pricked onto a fork or skewer and can be sent into your mouth.

Combine cheese in thin slices with cheese bars and cubes and arrange them according to shape and color, as if collecting a bouquet of flowers.

You can serve all the cheeses cut in the same way in the form of cubes. Regardless of the hardness and texture of the cheese, these will be convenient to eat.

The variety of slices gives its special charm to the cheese plate, in this case you can play with the colors of the cheese, creating patterns and mosaics.

As you get creative with your cheese snack, don't forget to add decorations from other foods to your plate. Great for cheese:

• grape,
• olives and olives,
• citrus and kiwi slices,
• dried fruits,
• fresh herbs,
• nuts,
• thin slices of vegetables,
• crackers,
• bread sticks,
• crispbread.

The main rule is that any decoration should be less than cheese. Do not use too juicy fruits and vegetables, so that they do not soak the cheese already on the table. And of course, be creative. Even the smallest cheese platter can be beautiful.

Cheese and Garlic Snack - Cheese Stuffed Tomatoes

This cheese snack is also one of the classics of our family feasts. It must be the perfect combination of these foods: cheese, garlic and tomato.

Making them is not at all difficult. For such a cheese snack, we need:

• hard cheese - 150 grams,
• Feta cheese - 100 grams,
• tomatoes - 5-6 pieces,
• garlic - 2 cloves,
• mayonnaise - 2-3 tablespoons,

Preparation:

Grate hard cheese on a fine grater. This can be any of your favorite types of cheese.

Mash the feta with a fork into a gruel, then mix it with hard cheese and mayonnaise into a homogeneous mass. Squeeze fresh garlic there, add salt and pepper to taste.

Next, take the washed tomatoes and chop them up. If the tomatoes are large, then cut them into thick rings from 0.5 som to 1 cm thick. Place the cheese filling and a sprig of herbs on top.

If the tomatoes are small, then you can make pots out of them by cutting off the lid and removing the core. Fill the space inside with stuffing, you can put the hat on top, or you may not use it, decorating it with greens instead.

Another option is to cut each tomato in half and remove the soft core from each half, fill the tomato cups with cheese filling, decorate and serve on the festive table.

Greens can also be added to the filling. Chop it finely and mix with the cheeses, and then stuff the tomatoes. This is a very simple type of cheese snack, and it takes just ten minutes to cook. But she will decorate any festive table with dignity.

Cheese snacks - cheese balls

This is an original and very beautiful cheese appetizer that can be diversified by adding all kinds of ingredients to the base and sprinkling. This will make them a real assortment with different flavors and colors.

For the base of cheese balls, it is necessary to prepare a cheese mass, which will include:

• hard cheese of your choice - 250 grams,
• boiled eggs - 5 pieces,

Then, divide the cheese mass into as many pieces as you have planned. Here are my options.

Cheese balls with crab sticks

For the filling and sprinkling of the cheese balls, you will need 200 grams of crab sticks.

Freeze them a little beforehand to make them harder. After that, grate on a fine grater until you get crab shavings. Divide the resulting shavings in half. Add one half to the cheese base along with a spoonful of mayonnaise and mix well. Pour the other half into a plate. Form the crab cheese into balls. To prevent it from sticking, you can moisten the chicken with water or wear rubber gloves. Dip the resulting balls in the crab shavings.

Cheese balls with lightly salted fish, in sesame

To prepare such balls, you will need additionally:

• slightly salted red fish - 100 grams,
• fresh cucumber - 1 piece,
• sesame seeds - 100 grams.

Peel the fresh cucumber and finely chop into cubes or short strips. Combine the sliced ​​cucumber with the cheese base until smooth, add a little mayonnaise if necessary. Then cut the red fish into small cubes so that you can place the cube inside the ball. That is, it should be about 3-4 times smaller than the future ball. Take a piece of fish and wrap it in a mass of cheese and cucumber, form a ball. Dip the finished ball in the sesame seeds. It can be white sesame, black, or a mixture of both. It will turn out very tasty.

Cheese balls with carrots and walnuts

If you remember from the first part of my post, then cheese snacks go well with nuts. In this version of cheese balls, walnuts are used, and in combination with carrots, it is simply amazing. To prepare such balls, you will need additionally:

• raw carrots - 1 piece of medium size,
• walnuts - 100 grams.

Preparation:

Grate raw carrots on a fine grater and mix with cheese mass. If it comes out too thick, add some mayonnaise. Optionally, this option can be cooked with boiled carrots, in case you don't like raw carrots, the taste will still remain pleasant.

For the filling, fry the nuts and break a few into quarters. Put the resulting large pieces into the cheese and carrot mass and form into balls. Chop the rest of the nuts. This can be done in a blender or by crushing them with a rolling pin.

Dip the cheese balls in the nut crumbs. Very tasty and healthy!

Cheese balls with salmon and green onions

Cheese and fish snacks are always delicious, almost a win-win option. The second option for making cheese balls with salmon (or trout) will be fresher thanks to the onion. For this recipe you will need:

• lightly salted salmon or trout - 100 grams,
• fresh green onions - a few arrows,
• fresh or dried herbs - 50 grams.

Preparation:

Cut the lightly salted fish into small cubes. Chop the onion just as finely. Combine onion, fish and cheese base until smooth, add mayonnaise if necessary. Roll the curd into balls and roll in very finely chopped greens. Greens can be any: parsley, dill, cilantro. Both fresh and dry, the main condition is that it is very small, so that it is more convenient to roll the balls.

Cheese balls with sun-dried tomatoes and olives

Another very original version of a cheese snack for a festive table. This time the cheese balls will be red due to the fact that we roll them in paprika. And for the filling you need 100 grams of sun-dried tomatoes.

Preparation:
