Servings: 80 pieces (Assume 6 - 8 per person)
Ingredients
- 9 slices Keto Bread Each slice cut into 9 cubes.
- 1 ⅔ cups Whipped Pesto Dip This is about ½ of the Whipped Pesto Dip Recipe. This is Option 2, the more intense “star of the show” version of the recipe.
- 1 log Soppressata 1 (9 ounce) log. Cut into 80 pieces each. I cut 20 (¼ inch) rounds and then quarter them.)
- 10 ounces Manchego Cheese Cubed into 80 pieces. Each piece is approximately ⅛ ounce.
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 250 degrees F.
- Remove the crusts (if you would like) and cube each slice of keto bread into 9 pieces. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and spread the bread cubes on the sheet.9 slices Keto Bread
- Bake at 250 degrees F for 20 minutes. Take them out to flip / toss them. Put them back in the oven for 20 more minutes to finish drying out.
- Make the Whipped Pesto Dip (i.e. the more intense version) of my Whipped Pesto recipe. You only need half of it for these canapes.1 ⅔ cups Whipped Pesto Dip
- Cut the 9 ounce Sopressata log into 20 (¼ inch) rounds. Then cut each round into quarters. Cut 10 ounces of Manchego cheese into 80 cubes approximately the same size as the soppressata pieces. Each piece will be approximately ⅛ of an ounce.1 log Soppressata, 10 ounces Manchego Cheese
- Spread approximately 1 teaspoon of the Whipped Pesto Dip on each keto toast piece.
- Place 1 piece of soppressata and 1 piece of Manchego cheese on top of the spoonful of Whipped Pesto on each piece of bread.
- Cover with plastic wrap or place in an airtight container in the fridge until you are ready to serve them.
Equipment

- Chef's Knife For cubing the keto bread
- Heavy Duty Aluminum Foil Optional
- Stand Mixer OR Hand Mixer and Large Bowl
- Measuring Cups
Notes
- Single Bite Sizing
- These canapes are intended to be single bites, so they are intentionally small. You can make them bigger, but the idea here is to be able to get all 3 flavors–pesto, soppressata, and Manchego–in one bite.
- Soppressato Alternatives
- I wanted something with a bolder flavor for these canapes, so I would suggest doing substitutions in that vein. A spicy pepperoni or salami would work well as substitutes.
