Ingredients
INGREDIENTS
- 2 slices of your favorite bread (sourdough or whole grain is ideal)
- 1 ripe avocado
- 4 ounces smoked salmon
- 4 ounces cream cheese (softened)
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: fresh dill sprigs for garnish
Instructions
- Toast the bread slices until golden brown and crispy.
- In a small bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped dill, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Spread a generous layer of the dill cream cheese on each slice of toasted bread.
- Slice the avocado and arrange it evenly on top of the cream cheese layer.
- Layer the smoked salmon over the avocado slices, adding more if desired.
- Garnish with additional dill sprigs if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your elegant tartine!
Notes
Note: For a different flavor profile, try adding capers or a squeeze of lime juice to the avocado.
For the best flavor, choose high-quality smoked salmon and fresh avocados. If you don’t have fresh dill, dried dill can be used, but reduce the amount by half.
Feel free to customize your tartine by adding sliced tomatoes or radishes for extra freshness and crunch. Leftover tartine can be stored in the fridge, but is best enjoyed fresh to maintain the texture of the bread.
