Toasts in Turkish
Want to make a delicious snack?Choose holiday recipes carefully - they should be original and at the same time easy to prepare. In addition to the standard set - eggs with mayonnaise, herring soaked in milk, and cheese slices - make small sandwiches or toasts that guests can snack on on the go before waiting for the main dishes to be served. Ingredients:
- four crispy toast
- a tablespoon of delicious mayonnaise
- 200 grams of smoked turkey
- eight pieces of prune
- 150 grams of soft cheese
- two small pieces of bacon
- cranberry confiture - two teaspoons.
Method of preparation:We think there is no need to tell you how to make toast. The easiest option is to use a toaster. If you want to fantasize a little and “play” with the products, choose the appropriate recipes and toast the bread yourself in a frying pan. Then preheat the oven to 220 degrees. In the meantime, spread the toasts with light mayonnaise and cover with thinly sliced turkey, pressing firmly with your hands. Pre-soak the prunes for fifteen minutes in warm water, cut into four parts, and the cheese into thin pieces. Now put the above ingredients on the toasts and put everything in the oven for eight minutes. Cut the bacon into thin strips and fry in a frying pan without adding oil. When the product is browned and turns brownish-golden, it means it is ready. Take the bread out of the oven and put it on a beautiful plate. Then cover the hot toasts with bacon and pour berry jam over them. This dish goes well with all kinds of pickles, corn, and also with pickled beets. Complex snack recipes for any holiday can be simplified. In this case, we replaced the Havarti cheese, which is ideally prepared at home, with another variety.
Snack from pickled beets
All people are different and everyone has their own preferences.in food. Men like hearty meat dishes, while ladies prefer lighter dishes. Fruit salads, fish appetizers, cheese, and tender chicken will suit them. Therefore, when planning the menu, keep in mind that the festive table should be varied and original. We told you how to make Turkish toasts and mentioned that you can prepare pickled beets as a side dish. Which is what we suggest you do. Ingredients:

- 100 grams of golden honey

Method of preparation:All recipes are different from each other, each of them has its own, albeit small, features. Each dish is prepared differently. Remember, in the kitchen you are your own hostess and cook, so, relying on your culinary intuition, add spices to the marinade at your discretion - it is not necessary to blindly follow our recommendations. But note that the future taste of your snack will depend on the marinade. Before cooking, boil the beets in a large amount of water. When it becomes soft, cool and peel it. Now cut the vegetable into thin strips, and peeled sweet onions - into half rings. Boil water for the future marinade and pour in spices, namely: two types of pepper, cloves, bay leaf. Add grated ginger and aromatic honey and boil. After fifteen minutes, add vinegar, mix everything well and remove the pan from the stove. In a separate dish, layer the beets and onions and pour the cooled marinade over the vegetables. Let it sit for an hour, then put the dish in the refrigerator. This juicy appetizer goes well with meat, stewed potatoes, vegetables and, of course, toast. We hope your holiday will be a success!
