Ingredients
- 8 Crackers
- 3 slices Cheese
- 4 Cherry tomatoes
- 8 Black olives
- 1 Tbsp Cream cheese (optional)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, take one slice of cheese and cut it into four equal pieces. This will give you four cheese segments.
Step 2
Place one of the prepared cheese pieces onto each cracker. For an extra touch of flavor, you can spread a thin layer of cream cheese on the cracker before adding the cheese. If you don’t have cream cheese, feel free to skip this step.
Step 3
Wash the cherry tomatoes thoroughly. Then, cut each tomato in half.
Step 4
Take the halved cherry tomatoes and, as shown in the picture, cut about two-thirds of the way through the rounded side to create a ‘wing’ effect. Gently open them slightly and place them on top of the cheese on each canapé. This will give them a beautiful ladybug wing appearance.
Step 5
Now, let’s create the ladybug’s spots! You can do this by taking small pieces of cheese, rolling them into tiny balls, and placing them on the tomato wings. Alternatively, for a different look, you can dip a toothpick into mayonnaise and gently dot small spots onto the tomato wings.
Step 6
Finally, place a black olive on the front of each ‘ladybug’ to represent its head. With this last touch, your charming and delicious ladybug canapés are beautifully complete!
