Smoked Salmon and Goat Cheese Toasts
Ingredients
8 oz soft fresh goat cheese
1 1/2 Tablespoons chopped fresh tarragon
1 Tablespoon fennel seeds, finely crushed
2 teaspoons of grated lemon peel
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
2 1/2 Tablespoons olive oil
30 thin slices French-bread baguette
12 oz thinly sliced smoked salmon
Lemon peel strips (for garnish)
Tarragon sprigs (for garnish)
Method
1 Preheat oven to 350°F. Mix first 5 ingredients in a small bowl to blend. Set aside. (The cheese mixture can be made a couple of days ahead of time.)
2 Brush oil over both sides of bread. Arrange bread in single layer on a large baking sheet. Bake until bread is just crisp, about 5 minutes on each side.
3 Spread cheese mixture over toasts. Top with salmon, trimming to fit. Garnish with lemon peel strips and tarragon sprigs. Arrange on platter and serve.
