Chive Tartines with Smoked Salmon

4.3

(10)

In France, tartines are slices of bread topped with butter and sometimes cheese, honey, or other spreads. Here that simple idea is turned into a sophisticated appetizer when the bread is brushed with chive oil and topped with smoked salmon and goat cheese.

  • Yield

    Makes 20

Ingredients

1 cup 1-inch pieces fresh chives
3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
6 tablespoons crumbled soft fresh goat cheese
2 tablespoons minced shallot
20 3/4-inch-thick diagonal slices French-bread baguette
6 ounces thinly sliced smoked salmon
Additional chopped fresh chives

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Puree 1 cup chives and oil in blender 2 minutes. Pour into fine sieve set over medium bowl. Let drain 1 hour (do not press on solids). Discard solids.

    Step 2

    Preheat oven to 400°F. Mix goat cheese and shallot in small bowl; season to taste with pepper. Place bread slices on large baking sheet. Brush both sides of bread lightly with chive oil. Spread each slice with 1 1/2 teaspoons cheese mixture.

    Step 3

    Bake bread until light golden, about 5 minutes. Transfer to platter. Drape 1 salmon slice over each. Sprinkle with additional chopped chives.
