Salmon Something Somethings

from ButterYum

makes 20 appetizers

Ingredients

• • 10 sliced pumpernickel bread

  • 2 ounces Alouette Garlic and Herb Spreadable Cheese (or Boursin)

  • 20 thin slices of English cucumber

  • 4 ounces thinly sliced, high quality smoked salmon

  • 1 ounce sour cream

  • shallot salt (I order this from Penzey's)

  • finely ground black pepper

  • chopped fresh chives

Directions

• 1. Cut twenty 2 1/4-inch rounds from the pumpernickel bread. I used this awesome set of dual-sided cutters.

  2. Place 1/2 teaspoon of the garlic and herb cheese on each bread round.

  3. Add one slice of cucumber on top of cheese and press down slightly.

  4. Top cucumber with bite-size pieces of smoked salmon.

  5. Top salmon with 1/4 teaspoon sour cream.

  6. Sprinkle liberally with shallot salt, finely ground black pepper, and freshly chopped chives. Serve immediately.

Note: if you want to transport these, you can't cover them with plastic wrap because the plastic will smoosh the sour cream. Here's the container that I used.
