SMOKED SALMON TEA SANDWICHES

Based on this recipe

Ingredients 

  • Sliced bread! Dark Pumpernickel for bears, or a baguette sliced thin and lightly toasted as crostini

  • Garlic & herb cream cheese (or use the goat cheese mousse from the tartlets)

  • Smoked salmon, sliced (one 4 oz. package is plenty)

  • ½ English cucumber, sliced thin

Tools

  • ​Cutting board

  • Knife

  • Mandolin slicer (recommended for cucumber)

  • Spatula for spreading cheese
