Treat your ingredients with care...

  • Smoked salmon — Choose high-quality smoked salmon for the best flavor. Look for slices that are thinly cut and have a delicate smoky aroma.
  • Cream cheese — Make sure the cream cheese is softened before spreading it on the baguette slices. This will ensure a smooth and creamy texture.

Tips & Tricks

  • Experiment with different toppings such as thinly sliced cucumber, cherry tomatoes, or fresh herbs like basil or parsley.
  • For a touch of sweetness, drizzle a small amount of honey or balsamic glaze over the canapés before serving.
  • If you prefer a tangy flavor, add a squeeze of lemon juice to the cream cheese before spreading it on the baguette slices.
  • To save time, you can prepare the toasted baguette slices in advance and assemble the canapés just before serving.
  • Don't be afraid to get creative with the presentation. Arrange the toppings in different patterns or shapes to make the canapés visually appealing.

Serving advice

Serve the Canapés Berne on a decorative platter or wooden board to enhance their visual appeal. Pair them with a glass of chilled white wine or champagne for a truly elegant experience.

Presentation advice

Arrange the Canapés Berne in a symmetrical pattern on the serving platter to create a visually pleasing display. Garnish with additional fresh dill sprigs for an added touch of greenery.
