Savory Canapés

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.
