Breakfast Herb Bread With Smoked Salmon Spread Food

SMOKED SALMON TEA SANDWICHES

Steps:

• For the herb butter, combine all the butter ingredients in a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat until mixed, but do not whip.
• For the sandwiches, have the store slice the bread lengthwise on a meat slicer into 1/4-inch-thick slices. (If that isn't possible, you can slice it crosswise with a very sharp knife.)
• Lay out 8 slices of bread and spread them all with a thin layer of herb butter. Place smoked salmon on 4 of the slices. Top with the other 4 slices of bread, butter side down. Place the sandwiches on a baking sheet and wrap with plastic. Refrigerate until the butter is very cold. Place the sandwiches on a cutting board. With a very sharp knife, cut off the crusts, cut each large sandwich in half crosswise, and then cut each half diagonally twice to make a total of 8 small triangles. (If the bread was cut crosswise, follow the assembly directions, then cut off the crusts and cut diagonally, twice, to make 4 small triangles.) Serve chilled.

SMOKED SALMON ON IRISH SODA BREAD WITH CHIVE BUTTER

Steps:

• Slice the soda bread into thin slices, about 1/4-inch, and cut each slice into a rough 2-inch square until you have 16 pieces. Wrap the remaining bread in plastic wrap and store in a cool dry place. Mix the butter and chives together and spread a small amount onto each square. Top with a small fold of salmon and garnish with a sprig of fresh dill.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Put the oatmeal into the bowl of a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Pour into a bowl and add the flour, sugar, baking soda, salt, raisins and caraway seeds. Stir well to combine. Pour the buttermilk in and stir quickly until well combined. Shape the dough into a round about 6 inches in diameter and put onto a baking sheet. Place into the top half of the oven and bake 30 to 40 minutes, until lightly brown on top. When tapped, the bread will give off a firm, hollow sound. Remove from the oven and let cool.

SMOKED SALMON AND HERB BUTTER

Steps:

• For the herb butter, combine the butter, garlic, scallions, dill, parsley, juice juice, salt and pepper in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat until mixed, but do not whip.
• To serve, spread some herb butter on a slice of bread and top it with a slice of smoked salmon.

SMOKED-SALMON FLATBREAD WITH PICKLED BEET

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F, with a pizza stone or inverted baking sheet on lowest rack. Drizzle 3 tablespoons oil onto a rimmed quarter sheet pan (9 by 13 inches). Stretch dough to edges of pan.
• Drizzle dough evenly with remaining 1 tablespoon oil; sprinkle with sesame seeds and season with salt and pepper. Top with mozzarella and garlic-herb cheese, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
• Bake on stone until cheese is melted and bubbly, and crust is golden brown and set on bottom, 22 to 24 minutes. Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine beet, lemon zest and juice, and 3/4 teaspoon salt. Let stand 10 minutes. Remove pizza from oven; let cool slightly. Top with salmon, beet mixture, and herbs. Slice and serve.

BREAKFAST HERB BREAD WITH SMOKED SALMON SPREAD

Steps:

• Salmon Spread -- In a small bowl, mix the room temp soft cream cheese, sour cream, salt, pepper, scallion and then fold in the smoked salmon. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use. Done!
• Bread -- In a medium size bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, sugar, salt, pepper, lemon zest and herbs. Then in a measuring cup or small bowl, melt the butter. I just used the microwave for 10-15 seconds. Let cool about a minute and then add the milk and eggs and beat well to combine. Add the egg and milk mixture to the dry and ingredients and mix with a fork lightly until combined. DO not over mix.
• Bread Pans -- I lightly grease and flour the bread pans and fill with the bread mix. Preheat the oven to 400 and cook approximately 20-30 minutes. I have made this recipe 30-40 times at least. Just check the bread by sticking a knife in the center, when it comes out clean it is done. I have had it done from 20-35 minutes, so, just keep an eye on it. Remove from the oven and let cool 10-15 minutes and then remove from the pan.
• You can easily make this as muffins or even a big loaf, but I just love the mini loafs for this. Just makes it perfect for breakfast.
• Finish -- Simply slice the bread while warm. If made in advance, I just warm for a few seconds in the microwave. Spread the chilled salmon spread over the bread and enjoy. That's it! Personally, I love a soft cooked egg or poached egg is great to serve with this, but not necessary. But it finishes the dish perfectly. Some soft scrambled eggs are also great along this as well.

IRISH BROWN BREAD WITH SMOKED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Whisk together flours, oats, wheat germ, baking soda, salt, and caraway seeds in a large bowl. Blend in 3/4 stick cold butter with your fingertips until mixture resembles coarse meal. Add buttermilk and stir until dough is evenly moistened. Knead dough on a lightly floured surface, dusting with flour to prevent sticking, 1 minute (dough should remain soft and slightly sticky). Shape dough into a ball.
• Pat out dough on a lightly floured baking sheet into a 7-inch round. Dust dough with flour and spread lightly over round with your fingertips. Cut a 4- to 5-inch X (1/2inch deep) in top of dough.
• Bake in middle of oven until bread sounds hollow when tapped on bottom, 45 to 50 minutes. Cool on a rack 2 hours before slicing.
• Make canapés with bread, softened butter, salmon, chives, and pepper to taste.
