This makes a pretty presentation, it is a little different and very tasty.
Chévre Cheese and Smoked Salmon Bruschetta
Ingredients:
Sourdough baguette slices, cut on an angle
Fruity, extra-virgin olive oil
Garlic Salt
Chévre Cheese (goat cheese)
Smoked Salmon or Trout (remove skin)
Finely-diced red onion
Capers
Fresh herbs (such as dill, tarragon, chives)
Preparation:
Preheat oven broiler.
Place bread slices on a broiler-safe baking sheet pan covered with non-stick aluminum foil. Drizzle olive oil over the top of each bread slice and then sprinkle with garlic salt.
Broil just until slices begin to brown on the edges, about 3 minutes a side (watch closely as this happens fast). Remove from oven and leave on baking sheet to cool.
NOTE: Bread can be toasted 3 hours ahead; cover loosely with foil and leave at room temperature.
Serving Suggestions: Using a flat serving platter, place toasted baguette slices, whole piece of smoked fish, goat cheese, red onion, and capers over the top of each slice.
• Put the goat cheese, onions and capers on small plates for easier serving. Allow each guest to make up their own appetizer, as desired. I like to place a couple of sample pieces on the platter.
