Kir Impérial
1 serving
1 oz. Chambord
3 oz. Champagne (I prefer Piper-Heidsieck Brut)
Pour Chambord into a nicely chilled glass and top with Champagne. Et voila! Santé!
Smoked salmon with cream cheese, pickled red onions and chives
4 servings
Ingredients
4 slices of smoked salmon (sliced in thirds), I prefer Echo Falls
12 Divina toast points, imported from France (located in your cheese department)
Cream cheese
Pickled red onions, minced (see recipe here)
Fresh chives
Freshly cracked black pepper
Place toasts on a platter. Take four slices of the smoked salmon and slice them into thirds. Place a dollop of cream cheese or crème frâiche onto the toast and fold a slice of the salmon on top. Thinly mince a few slices of pickled red onions and place them on top along with the freshly chopped chives.
Serve immediately alongside a Kir Impérial!
