Amuse-Bouche with Ham and Cranberries

Kids-Proof Amuse Bouche

Although my kids love good food, they don’t always like the same food as adults. We as parents appreciate an amuse-bouche with duck breast or an amuse spoon with smoked salmon. 

And while we’re looking forward to such a delicious treat, my children aren’t as happy as we are when they hear the menu.

And because I find it important to keep a great Christmas atmosphere at the table, I make a few dishes, especially for them.

Of course, they are all easy recipes because I’m not particularly eager to stand a lot of the time in the kitchen at Christmas. So I have made some wonderful children’s dishes that take little time and almost no budget. They are easy and fast to make (or prepare in advance). I asked my own test panel to try them on the forehand, and they loved these amuse appetizers. 

What do you need for an Amuse-Bouche with Ham and Cranberries?

To prepare this kids-proof Amuse-Bouche, you need the following ingredients. You can find the correct amounts in the recipe card at the bottom of the blog:

• Ham - Charcuterie. Buy a thinly sliced delicious cooked ham, as you use on children’s ham sandwiches.
• Cranberry Compote - This best of season holiday spread is deliciously fruity and great food combined with the ham. I’ve got a superb homemade Cranberry compote recipe on this site which pairs well with the ham.
• Chives - a mild oniony taste. But I use it in small amounts. I think the green chives and red cranberry compote give this amuse that great Holiday feeling.
