Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Baguette or rustic bread
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 large Garlic clove
- 2 Florina peppers (roasted and peeled)
- 150 grams Smoked trout fillet
- 100 grams Feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon Capers
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).
Slice the baguette into 1 cm (1/2 inch) thick pieces. You should have about 12 slices.
Brush both sides of the bread slices with olive oil and place them on a baking tray.
Bake the bread slices in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crisp.
While the bread is toasting, finely mince the garlic clove and set aside.
Slice the roasted Florina peppers into thin strips and crumble the smoked trout into bite-sized chunks.
In a small bowl, mix the chopped Florina peppers, capers, lemon juice, dill, salt, and pepper. Toss gently to combine.
When the bread is toasted, immediately rub the surface of each slice with the minced garlic for extra flavor.
Top each bread slice with a spoonful of the Florina pepper mixture.
Add small chunks of the smoked trout on top of the pepper mixture.
Crumble feta cheese over each slice and drizzle lightly with olive oil for a finishing touch.
Serve immediately and enjoy the Mediterranean flavors!
