Ideas for Mini Sandwiches

Image
 My Executive chef asked me for new ideas on making sandwiches. I then got creative and started working on it. Here are my fresh ideas for mini sandwiches. The bread I used for each of the sandwiches is sundried tomato ciabatta. Each filling is different per sandwich. The first sandwich is filled with mega cream cheese and orange berry sauce. It is garnished with micro herb and raspberry. The second sandwich is filled with labneh cucumber cream and topped off with fish roe. The third sandwich is filled with mega cream cheese, drizzled with orange berry sauce, and garnished with raspberry with flower. Lastly, the fourth sandwich is filled with labneh cucumber cream and then topped off with fish roe and red radish. Then it is garnished with dill leaves.

 Here is my take on Burrata and Parma Ham Salad.

It is formed into a pocket where the outer surface is solid cheese and the inside is filled with a softer cheese called stracciatella, a mixture of mozzarella and cream.  On the other hand, Parma ham is an Italian cured ham produced specifically in the Parma region of Italy. It is a ham dry-cured for a minimum of 12 months then thinly sliced and served. Here is list of ingredients I used for my own presentation of my Burrata and Parma Ham Salad: Burrata Cheese Blanched Tomato Balsamic Glaze Arugula Crushed Pistachio  Grissini Stick Now don’t forget to try out this recipe! This very simple appetizer/salad is very easy to make. It is very tasty as well! The combination of Burrata Cheese, Parma Ham and slices of tomato just brings divine deliciousness for whoever tries them. I shou

We tend to have sudden orders in the kitchen. With that, our time for preparations is shorter than usual. So, on rush orders, we rely on the dishes that are within time-bound but still quality efficient to serve for our customers. For canapes, the easiest ones to make on a rush order are Bolognese with Parmesan on Tart, Ratatouille with Halloumi Cheese Tart, and Beetroot Cream Cheese and Strawberry Tortilla Wrapped. These three dishes fit not just the time budget but also maintaining a high quality on our menu during rush orders.
