Savory cake pops with only three ingredients to prepare a small finger food for any occasion, and every occasion is a good time to party, enjoy company, drink, and eat together. Conviviality is the right word, and food is the perfect glue. Having a vegetarian friend for lunch, I always gladly prepare a single and simple meal for everyone. So I thought for my appetizer, a bit fancy and practical, I’d go with the idea of a finger food to enjoy while standing and sipping some good wine while I prepare. I thought of savory cake pops. Delicious!

Steps
I’ve never prepared a quicker finger food, have you? If you like, feel free to answer in the comments or reviews. I’d appreciate it.
I chopped the red cabbage into very thin slices after washing and drying it thoroughly. I did the same with the parsley.
I unwrapped the cream cheese, put it in the bowl along with the parsley and the red cabbage. I mixed the three ingredients well and formed small, round savory cake pops with damp hands. I topped each cake pop with a savory stick and a chive sprig for decoration.
Here are the savory cream cheese cake pops ready to be served.

Yes, you can make savory cake pops with ricotta. The only difference is that ricotta should be drained of excess water for a few hours before using.
