Four deliciously easy canapés for Australia Day

Posted on 22 January, 2016

These yummy little mouthfuls of summer are the perfect way to kick start your Australia Day festivities. 

So crank up Triple J’s Hottest 100, chill those eskis and get your Aussie on with these four deliciously easy canapés.

Watermelon, goat’s cheese and prosciutto

These luscious little mouthfuls are great party-starters for summer. Crisp, juicy watermelon discs, topped with a crown of goat’s cheese, prosciutto and a little fresh mint. Perfection. Get the recipe here.

 Sweet potato and sage galettes

Sweet potato and sage galettes are pretty as a picture and have got all the right flavours and textures. Crispy, buttery pastry, roasted sweet potato slices, and crispy sage leaves. I’m calling them healthy. Get the recipe here.

Caramelised onion and goat’s cheese tartlets

I love these little tartlets because they’re so simple to make, but they look really elegant and each little bite is jam-packed with flavour. The trick is to be patient and caramelise the onion really slowly on a low heat.

Trust me, it’s worth it. Get the recipe here.

 Golden stretchy mozzarella balls with Sriracha mayonnaise

These balls from heaven don’t need much explanation. Deep-fried stretchy cheese covered in golden crunchy breadcrumbs and dipped in spicy mayo. ’nuff said. Get the recipe here.
