Summer Entertaining - 5 easy finger food options

As the days lengthen and warm we find more opportunities to get outside and soak up the sunshine.  These recipes have been designed with just that in mind.


Our mini pancakes, blinis and crepes are perfect for whipping up a quick and easy finger food dish to enjoy during the summer months.    They are ready-made, so all you need to do is add toppings!


So gather your nearest and dearest and put together a spread that is a feast for the eyes as well as the tummy!


 

#1 Salmon & Cream Cheese Blini


When we ask people what their favourite Marcel’s dish is, they regularly reply with the classic combination of salmon and cream cheese on our blini. Popular among caterers and a favourite at dinner parties, putting smoked salmon and cream cheese on our blini makes this the quickest bite-sized treat that you will ever whip up!

#2 Sharing Platters


Putting together a cheese platter for guests to nibble on is a staple when having friends or family over.   Our blini is a perfect addition to any grazing platter, as they are low in sugar making them perfect for savoury toppings, and they won’t crumble like a cracker.

Alternatively, swap out the blini for our Petite Happy Pancakes and make a sweet grazing platter.  You could add fruit, chocolate, marshmallows, dessert sauce… the options are endless!  This is an easy dessert option, which will be a winner with both adults and kids.
