Hot Seafood Appetizers

The recipe for these canapes (open-faced sandwiches) is pretty remarkable. Crab and shrimp added with tomatoes and cheese and a hint of jalapeno and toasted – soo good. Everyone will want the recipe at your next party!

Oh how I love canapés (or just sandwiches as we Ukrainians like to call them). They are great for parties or just to enjoy as a side or brunch. These have such a wonderful balance with the cheese, crab, shrimp and jalapenos that add great flavor. Once baked and the bread gets crunchy and everything is so creamy and just melts in your mouth, a wonderful experience I tell you.
These were inspired by the Crab Dip and Seafood Phyllo Cups. If you like Canapes as much as I do, have you tried the Chicken and Mushroom Canapesor the A.M.A.Z.I.N.G Spinach Mushroom Artichoke Canapes? I think it is safe to say I LOVE CANAPES:)>… Enjoy my friends.. 🙂

In a small bowl combine the cream cheese, mayo, Parmesan cheese and seasonings. (Add Cayenne to taste. I really like food with a kick to it so I add some Cayenne pepper to the tops of the canapés as well.)
Combine all of the ingredients.
Spread over the bread slices.
