Mary Berry Christmas canapés are small, carefully prepared savoury bites inspired by classic British flavours. They are typically served cold or lightly baked and are designed to be eaten in one or two bites. The focus is on neat presentation, balanced seasoning, and combinations that feel festive but not heavy before the main meal.

Ingredients

  • Ready-made mini pastry cases or crostini – 24 pieces

  • Cream cheese – 200 g, softened

  • Smoked salmon – 150 g, finely chopped

  • Fresh chives – 2 tablespoons, finely snipped

  • Puff pastry – 1 sheet, thawed

  • Wholegrain mustard – 2 teaspoons

  • Egg – 1, beaten (for glazing)

  • Salt – to taste

  • Black pepper – to taste

Instructions

  • Prepare the salmon filling – In a bowl, mix the cream cheese, smoked salmon, chives, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.

  • Fill the pastry cases – Spoon the salmon mixture into mini pastry cases or spread onto crostini and chill until needed.

  • Prepare the sausage rolls – Cut the puff pastry into strips, spread lightly with mustard, and wrap around each cocktail sausage.

  • Glaze and chill – Brush the pastry with beaten egg and chill for 15 minutes to help them puff neatly.

  • Preheat the oven – Set the oven to 200°C (180°C fan).

  • Bake the sausage canapés – Bake for 15–20 minutes until golden, crisp, and puffed.
