We will be preparing festive calla lilies on toast - this portioned holiday appetizer will please everyone. The second option for preparing the “Calla” appetizer is without croutons, but can be served on lettuce leaves, which will further decorate the dish. On toast, calla lilies are more likely to be appreciated by those who like to eat hearty food. Therefore, friends, the choice is yours, which depends, first of all, on your preferences and the preferences of your guests.

By the way, any cheese is suitable - hard cheese cut into thin slices or processed sandwich cheese, which is sold in individual packages. This kind of cheese holds its shape better in an appetizer, so it’s better to use it. So, let's begin.

Ingredients for Calla lilies appetizer

  • crab sticks – 100 g;
  • eggs – 3 pcs.;
  • small cucumber (salted or fresh) – 1 pc.;
  • small carrots - 1 pc.;
  • cheese for toast - 2 packages (16 pieces);
  • mayonnaise – 70 g;
  • loaf - 8 slices;
  • sunflower oil – 20 ml;
  • green onions, dill;
  • garlic (optional) – 2 cloves.

How to prepare Calla lilies appetizer from processed cheese and crab sticks

Before preparing the snack, remove the cheese from the refrigerator. Boil eggs and carrots. While they are cooking, you can prepare the croutons. To do this, each piece of loaf must be cut diagonally in half. Pour sunflower oil into a frying pan and, when it warms up, add pieces of loaf. Fry them on one side until golden brown. To remove excess oil from croutons, you can blot with a paper towel.

Cut hard-boiled eggs into small cubes, and carrots into thin strips.

Finely chop the crab sticks and cucumber.

Combine eggs, crab sticks, cucumber and season with mayonnaise. Mix everything.

Take 1 piece of cheese and place 1-1.5 teaspoons of filling on it. Place a piece of carrot in the center. Then fold the corners of the cheese and fold it into a flower shape.

Place the finished calla flower on the fried side. To give the appetizer a sharper taste, each crouton can be pre-rubbed with garlic (on the fried side). Decorate the dish with herbs and serve.

We wish you bon appetit!

I really like the Calla cheese appetizer, a recipe with a photo of which I offer. Very often it becomes one of the main decorations of a family or dinner party. The preparation of the appetizer is very simple; I will be happy to share the recipe and method of presentation.

My mother always says: “A beautifully decorated table is half the success of a holiday dinner.” And this, according to her, is not only an exquisite tablecloth, dishes and napkins to match, but also the presentation of the dishes themselves.

My mother instilled in me a love of decorating. I completely agree with her opinion, therefore, when preparing for any holiday, from time to time I carefully think through the menu, focusing on the original presentation of even the most ordinary dishes.

Much depends on the occasion for which the table is set, and on the preferences of the guests, and even on the time of year. For example, in spring or summer, I want to add more greens, vegetables and fruits to my dishes, make all kinds of patterns, floral arrangements, and the Calla Lily processed cheese snack is one of my favorites.

Ingredients:

- 8 square slices of processed cheese,
- 50 g hard cheese,
- 2 eggs,
- 1 clove of garlic,
- mayonnaise to taste,
- Korean carrots,
- green onions for decoration.

How to cook with photos step by step

2. Also grate hard cheese on a fine grater. Add to eggs.




3. Add garlic, chopped on a fine grater or using a garlic press, to the eggs and cheese. Season with a spoon of mayonnaise. Instead of mayonnaise, you can use sour cream or natural yogurt. Mix all ingredients thoroughly.






4. Place the square cheese slice in the shape of a diamond. Place a spoonful of filling in the middle of a slice of processed cheese.




5. Fold the edges of the cheese slice towards the middle, forming a calla lily. We do the same with the remaining slices.

We make stems from a bunch of green onions or any other greenery. The spectacular cheese appetizer “Callies” is ready, we will certainly place it in the middle of the festive table.

A delicious cheese snack with the beautiful name “Callies” is not as difficult to prepare as it seems. Our recipe will tell you in great detail, with photos, step by step how to prepare such a cute bouquet of edible flowers. This snack will be especially good in quality. Although on other holidays it will be very appropriate.

Yield: 2 servings.



Ingredients:
- processed cheese (or semi-hard milk cheese) - 1 package (150 g);
- egg - 1 pc.;
- ham (or half-smoked sausage) - 50 g;
- carrots - 1 piece;
- dill - ½ bunch;
- pepper mixture - a pinch;
- mayonnaise.


Step-by-step recipe with photos:

For a snack, take a package of processed cheese, cut into thin slices. The cheese must be elastic so that the cheese slices do not break when we roll them into flowers along with the filling. We will use raw smoked sausage for the filling. You can replace it with ham. You will also need a hard-boiled chicken egg and herbs (dill or parsley).





Grind the hard-boiled egg on a large-mesh grater.





Cut the sausage into small and short strips. Pour the chopped sausage into the grated eggs.





For the appetizer, leave the required number of sliced ​​cheese slices (in this recipe there are 5 pieces), and grate the remaining slices on a medium grater. Add the grated cheese to the rest of the ingredients.







Add mayonnaise to the filling to taste, but not too much so that the filling does not turn out too liquid.





Add a pinch of ground pepper mixture to the filling and mix.





Add chopped greens to the cheese salad.







Now put 1 dessert spoon of filling into each slice of processed cheese. Wrap the cheese slices in little balls so that the filling is inside. Tip: before wrapping the filling in slices, take the cheese slices out of the refrigerator in advance so that they have time to warm up in the room. Cold slices of processed cheese are less elastic and may break.





Place sprigs of dill or parsley in a fan shape on a flat dish. We don’t skimp on greenery, we put out a lot. On juicy sprigs of dill (or parsley) the white cheesy calla flowers will stand out. Carefully place the formed calla flowers onto the greens.




This simple but beautifully decorated cheese appetizer will look tempting and appetizing on the table. This dish will be the center of attention at any holiday feast.
Still looks very nice
