Thursday Easy Appetizer: Wannabe Boursin Canapes


Hung Yoghurt and Cucumber Canapés

This dish will take some advance preparations, but that only means that you have to mix all this together and stick it in the fridge for at least 12 hours before using it. I love Boursin cheese but it’s really fattening, so I attempted this at home with decently good results. Of course one can never really have a replacement for Boursin but this is a good option to sometimes have an make at home


Ingredients for around 20 canapés
400 gm Yogurt
200 gm Sour Cream
10gm Chives – fresh and chopped fine
10gm Parsley – fresh and chopped fine
1 large clove garlic made into paste
Salt to taste
A muslin cloth
2 cucumbers cut into slices or then crackers
Cherry Tomatoes cut into halves for garnish

Whisk the yoghurt and sour cream to make a smooth paste
Mix in the chives, parsley, garlic paste and salt to this and tie it in a muslin cloth
Tie this muslin cloth to a long spoon and hang the spoon over a large bowl so that the mixture can be suspended in mid air in your bowl

Put this in the fridge overnight for at least 12 – 18 hours
Take this out and you will have a thick beautiful creamy mixture of hung yogurt


Put dollops of this on top of your cucumber slices or crackers and serve
When serving this to guests on a platter, you could take halves of cherry tomatoes and stick them individually on your canapes to make it look more attractive
