Being Scandinavian, we love starting dinner with a huge plate of smoked salmon sandwiches for special occasions. They are gone in no time.
That was the inspiration behind this Christmas tree idea made with garlic cream cheese, smoked salmon, fresh dill, and cucumber.
If you are making these sandwiches ahead of time, squeeze some lemon juice on top and store them in the fridge.
Ingredients
- 3 slices of toast
- 5 tablespoons garlic cream cheese
- 1 snack cucumber
- 100 grams smoked salmon
- fresh dill
- 1 yellow pepper
- star cookie cutter
Instructions
Serves 6.
1. Cut the crusts off the toast (you can use these to make croutons for soups, salads, etc).
2. Spread butter or cream cheese on half the toast.
3. Top with smoked salmon and fresh dill.
4. Use a vegetable grater or mandolin to slice the cucumber.
5. Place the cucumber in a row, overlapping each other.
6. Lay the toast on top.
7. Trim the cucumber to fit the toast. Flip over using a spatula.
8. Place the cucumber toast on top of the smoked salmon halves.
9. Cut into triangles.
10. Assemble the triangles to look like a Christmas tree.
11. Top with cucumber baubles, a yellow pepper star and a cucumber trunk.
