6 servings

30 minutes

Cucumber, cheese, and pecan nut canapés are an exquisite appetizer that can adorn any table. This recipe combines the freshness of cucumber, the spiciness of Italian gorgonzola, and the nutty richness of pecans. The refined taste makes the canapé a perfect complement to a glass of white wine or a light aperitif. Gorgonzola, hailing from Italy, adds noble creaminess to the dish, while crunchy nuts provide textural contrast. Chervil, an elegant representative of French cuisine, completes the composition with delicate herbal notes. Cucumber canapés embody lightness, freshness, and harmony of flavors designed for leisurely and elegant gatherings.
