Frequently Asked Questions
What can I put on a savoury snack platter?
Include a combination of creamy cheese, sliced or cubed cheese, cured meat, fish, eggs, bread, crisp bites, olives and fresh vegetables. Mixing different flavours and textures makes savoury platters more interesting.
Can I prepare this snack plate ahead of time?
Most of the ingredients can be prepared in advance and stored separately in the fridge. Toast the baguette, cook the hash browns and assemble the platter shortly before serving so that the crisp ingredients retain their texture.
What can I use instead of sardines?
You can replace the sardines with tuna, smoked salmon, sliced chicken or another savoury protein you enjoy. Choose a replacement that works well with the Sweet Chilli Cream Cheese and chilli crunch.
Can I make this savoury platter vegetarian?
Yes. Leave out the sardines, salami and egg, then add more cheese, olives, vegetables, toasted bread, falafel or other suitable vegetarian snacks.
How do I make a larger snack platter?
Increase the ingredients according to the number of guests and arrange them on a larger serving board. As a general guide, offer several small portions of cheese, protein, vegetables and bread per person.
Which cream cheese flavours can I use?
LANCEWOOD® Medium Fat Cream Cheese Sweet Chilli adds mild sweetness and spice. You can also try LANCEWOOD® Smoked Salmon or Smoked Ham Flavoured Cream Cheese for different savoury platter ideas.
How do I stop the platter from becoming soggy?
Drain the sardines, olives, peppers and pickled onions well before arranging them. Keep moist ingredients away from the baguette and hash browns until shortly before serving.
