I am such a sucker for a delicious snack, how about you guys? I really hope so, because I am sharing a mouthwatering recipe for a Mushroom Paté and Roasted Tomato Snack Stack today. Easy, carefree and versatile snacking for any occasion – with this topping inspiration and your loved ones of course. When it comes to entertaining, you know Bakers has your back…
Bakers Top This
I was asked to develop a recipe with the amazing range of Bakers Savoury Biscuits. Not only is this Mushroom Paté and Roasted Tomato the BEST topping combo (in my opinion), there are also loads of exciting and mouthwatering toppings YOU can add to your best-loved Bakers Biscuit.
I decided to use:
Bakers Provita Wholewheat Crispbread,
Bakers Provita Ancient Grains Crispbread (my favourite),
Bakers Salticrax with Black Pepper,
and Bakers Salticrax with Mediterranean Herbs, for this recipe.
Keep an eye out because soon, there might just be a new sneaky dessert recipe in the mix…
Once You Start You Can’t Stop
This is true! I have such fond memories of the Bakers Provita range. Way back, when I was still a youngster, my Mom used to stock up on Bakers Provita (they have been around for ages.) It was her snack staple and I remember she always topped hers with a spread of butter, mature cheddar cheese and pickles! A word of warning though…Once you start it’s pretty impossible to stop snacking on these delicious morsels.
Mushroom Paté
This Mushroom Paté recipe is a keeper. I decided to use dried porcini mushrooms, simply soaked in some boiling water, for the extra umami flavour it adds to this dish. Saute some onion, garlic, chili, thyme and portobello mushrooms, and blend to make the mushroom paté. Followed by cream cheese, seasoning and lemon juice – it sure doesn’t get better than this.
Construct your Bakers Snack Stack
Slow roasted cherry tomatoes make for a great addition to these snack stacks. The sweet tomatoes just bring ALL of this amazingness together – you can never go wrong with them red beauties. Top with micro herbs or sprouts, and you are ready to start stacking yours sky high…
