Lovely small decadent sandwiches from Fine Cooking magazine which were adorable and so much fun to serve.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup crème fraîche shopping list
- 3 Tbs. chopped fresh dill shopping list
- kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper shopping list
- One-half medium english cucumber shopping list
- 8 large slices pumpernickel bread, each cut into four 2-inch triangles shopping list
- 1/4 lb. thinly sliced cold-smoked salmon, cut into 16 pieces shopping list
How to make it
- In a small bowl, mix the crème fraîche with the dill and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Peel the cucumber. Then, using the peeler, shave 16 wide strips from several sides of the cucumber (discard the seed core).
- In a medium bowl, toss the cucumber strips with 1/4 tsp. salt and let sit until softened, about 10 minutes.
- Pat dry with paper towels.
- Spread the creme fraiche generously on one side of each bread triangle (you may not use it all).
- Top half of the triangles with a folded cucumber strip, a curl of the salmon, and a grind of black pepper.
- Set the remaining bread on top and serve.
- You can combine the crème fraîche and dill, season to taste, and refrigerate this mixture for up to 1 day, tightly covered.
