Source of Recipe

From "Wine Bites" by Barbara Scott-Goodman


Recipe Introduction

"These lovely little sandwiches, made with tangy lemon cr�me fra�che and thin slices of bread, smoked salmon, and cucumber, may technically be considered tea sandwiches, but I prefer them with wine. Try them with a glass of ros�, white wine, or a Champagne cocktail and I think you will agree."

List of Ingredients

◦ � cup cr�me fra�che
◦ 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
◦ 1 tablespoon capers, rinsed and drained
◦ 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
◦ Freshly ground black pepper
◦ 8 thin slices rye, white, or whole-wheat bread, crusts trimmed
◦ 12 thin slices smoked salmon
◦ 12 thin slices cucumber


Recipe

In a small bowl, stir together the cr�me fra�che, lemon juice, capers, dill, and pepper to taste. Spread over four slices of the bread.

Arrange the salmon and cucumber over the spread.

Top with the remaining bread slices. Quarter each sandwich into triangles or squares, or cut lengthwise into three rectangles.
Serve at once.
