Description

These Mini Open Faced Sandwiches are a delightful and colorful appetizer or light lunch option, featuring toasted artisan bread topped with creamy spreads like cream cheese, hummus, or avocado and a variety of fresh, vibrant toppings such as cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, shredded carrots, smoked salmon, and radishes. Perfectly seasoned and garnished with fresh herbs, these easy-to-make sandwiches offer a refreshing combination of flavors and textures that make them ideal for parties, brunches, or quick snacks.

Ingredients

Base Ingredients

  • 1 baguette or small loaf of artisan bread (sliced into 1/2-inch rounds)
  • 4 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 1/2 cup hummus
  • 1/2 cup mashed avocado

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup sliced cucumbers
  • 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes (halved)
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrots
  • 1/2 cup smoked salmon
  • 1/4 cup sliced radishes

Garnishes & Seasoning

  • Fresh dill or parsley for garnish
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Optional drizzle of olive oil or balsamic glaze

Instructions

  1. Toast the bread: Lightly toast the baguette or artisan bread slices until they are golden and crisp, either in a toaster, oven, or on a stovetop griddle. This provides a crunchy base for the toppings.
  2. Spread the bases: Choose your base spread for each slice—cream cheese, hummus, or mashed avocado—and spread a generous, even layer onto each toasted bread round.
  3. Add the toppings: Arrange a variety of fresh toppings on each slice. Mix and match from sliced cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, shredded carrots, smoked salmon, and radishes to create visual appeal and flavor diversity.
  4. Season and garnish: Sprinkle each open-faced sandwich with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh dill or parsley to add an herby freshness.
  5. Optional finishing touch: For extra flavor, drizzle lightly with olive oil or balsamic glaze just before serving. This enhances the taste and presentation.
  6. Serve: Serve the mini sandwiches immediately as an appetizer or light lunch to enjoy the crisp texture of the bread and fresh toppings.

Notes

  • Customize with your favorite spreads and toppings to suit your taste preferences.
  • Assemble sandwiches just before serving to keep the bread crisp and prevent sogginess.
  • Great for parties, brunches, or as a no-cook meal option.
  • Omit smoked salmon to make the recipe vegan-friendly.
