Beet & goat cheese duo

Prep time 1h Total time 1h25 Serves 6 - 12

The beet and goat cheese duo is a classic. This week I decided to just let myself get inspired by the flavours and colours of those two ingredients.

Ingredients 
12 croutons (homemade of from the store)
12 slices of smoked salmon 
6 small cooked beets (or 3 large) 
1/2 cup 35% whipping cream

1/2 cup of fresh goat cheese 
1 tablespoon chopped red onions 
1 tablespoon of chopped capers 
1/2 teaspoon of maple syrup 
Zest of 1/2 lemon 
1 sprig of dill 
Salt & Pepper

Instructions

Directions

  • Whip the cream until more consistent and add the goat cheese while beating. 
  • Add the onions, capers, maple syrup, zest and a pinch of salt. Mix well. 
  • Cover the croutons with the mixture.
  • Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, thinly slice the beets. Place 3 or 4 slices on each crouton. 
  • Cover with a slice of smoked salmon and garnish with dill and freshly ground pepper. 

To make your own croutons is simple and allows you to use that baguette hanging on your kitchen counter. Cut the bread in thin slices (max 1 cm thick) and spread them on a baking sheet. Bake them at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes and remove them when they are browned to your liking.
