Cheese Churros
Originally from Spain, churros are usually served sweet, for breakfast or dessert. Revisit this tradition with a savoury version for the aperitif. A twisted doughnut that gets all gooey and crunchy when fried. This original canapé made with Gruyère and Parmesan is the perfect salty snack!
