Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Soft white sandwich bread
- 120 grams Softened cream cheese
- 1 teaspoons Wasabi paste
- 150 grams Smoked salmon
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 0.5 Cucumber
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese and wasabi paste. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Use a mandoline or sharp knife to slice the cucumber into very thin rounds. Sprinkle the cucumber slices lightly with salt to enhance their flavor.
Lay the slices of bread on a flat surface. Using a rolling pin, gently flatten each slice to make them thinner, which improves the texture of the tea sandwiches.
Spread a thin, even layer of the cream cheese and wasabi mixture onto each slice of bread.
Place 2-3 thin slices of cucumber on half of the bread slices, ensuring even coverage. Top the cucumber with a small amount of smoked salmon, followed by a sprinkle of fresh dill and a pinch of black pepper.
Top each prepared bread slice with a second slice of bread, cream cheese side down, to form sandwiches.
Using a sharp knife, carefully cut off the crusts of each sandwich to create clean edges. Then, cut each sandwich into four neat squares or triangles, depending on your preference.
Arrange the sandwiches on a serving platter and garnish with a small sprig of fresh dill for presentation, if desired.
Serve immediately, or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving.
