At the Russ and Daughters store in Manhattan, which specializes in smoked and cured fish of all kinds, I found a goat cream cheese that inspired this sandwich.

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a bowl, mash the goat cheese with a fork. Add the yogurt, and mix together until smooth. Spread half on one slice of bread, and top with the smoked salmon. Slice the cucumbers very thin, and layer them over the salmon. If desired, season the cucumbers with a little salt and pepper, and squeeze on some lemon juice. Sprinkle the chopped chives or dill over the cucumbers.

  2. Step 2

    Spread the remaining goat cheese mixture over the other piece of bread. Place on top of the cucumbers, press down and cut the sandwich in half.

Tip
  • Advance preparation: This will keep well for a day. Wrap tightly in plastic wrap, and place in a bag. Keep cold if possible.

Elma

No need for two s!ices of bread one is enough, serve open-faced Scandinavian style.

quaasam

I agree with Elma. Open sandwich like in Scandinavia. Add some radishes and voila a great sandwich.

Susan Sater

Thinly sliced sweet onion is lovely in addition to the cucumber.

Diane

I used Dave's Killer Bread - Good Seed - thinly sliced - toasted. I tossed in the full 4oz goat cheese log and enough Greek yogurt to thin it, maybe 6-8 Tbsp. Added thinly sliced red onions and tomatoes, dill, and chives. Just a quick sprinkle of lemon juice. Also added everything bagel seasoning. Made 5 open faced sandwiches. Delicious!!

Enigma

We added thinly sliced tomato on top, as well. This was very delicious.

mlb

Used hot-smoked salmon and Ak-Mak crackers. Skipped the lemon, salt, and herbs but was great with a thin slice of cucumber and some carrots/celery sticks on the side for a light lunch.
