Little Croustades filled with Gravadlax and Greek Style Yoghurt

This makes 12 Croustades.

For the croustades:
  • 3 slices medium-cut bread
    (a light pale rye bread is excellent for this)
  • 2 oz (50 g) butter
  • 1 clove garlic
  • crushed salt
  • freshly milled black pepper
For the filling:
  • 4 oz (110 g) of our gravadlax, finely chopped

  • 3 table-spoons Greek yoghurt
    (or soured Cream)
  • cayenne pepper

You will also need a tray of tiny tartlet tins and a 5.5 cm (2 1/4 inch) plain pastry cutter.
    Little CroustadesPre-heat the oven to gas mark 4 or 180 C (350 F)

    Start by placing the slices of bread on a flat surface and rolling them with a rolling pin to make them as thin as possible.

    Stamp out little circles using a 21/4 inch (5.5 cm) plain cutter. Melt the butter in a small pan containing the garlic and a seasoning of salt and freshly milled black pepper.

    Brush the little bread rounds on both sides with melted butter and press them into the tins firmly. Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until crisp and brown.

    Cool on a wire rack and store in an airtight tin for up to 2 weeks.

    To fill them for serving, simply pile the finely chopped gravadlax into each one and top with a little of the sauce that comes with it. Add a blob of Greek Style Youghurt and a dash of cayenne.

    Verdict: Will be the talk of your guests.
