Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 2 oz smoked salmon , cut into 2 slices, halved
  • 2 tablespoons goats cheese , softened
  • 1 teaspoon garlic olive oil , divided
  • 1 English muffin , halved and toasted
  • 1 handful fresh rocket leaves (arugula)

Equipment

  • Toaster
  • Butter Knife
  • Small bowl
  • Serving plate

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Start by toasting your English muffin halves until they are golden brown and crispy. This will provide a sturdy base for your toppings and add a delightful crunch.
  2. In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon of garlic olive oil. This will be drizzled over the top to infuse the dish with a subtle garlicky flavor.
  3. Once the muffins are toasted, use a butter knife to spread 1 tablespoon of softened goats cheese on each half. The warmth from the muffin will slightly melt the cheese, enhancing its creaminess.
  4. Place the halved smoked salmon slices over the goats cheese. The rich, smoky flavor of the salmon pairs beautifully with the tangy cheese.
  5. Top the salmon with a handful of fresh rocket leaves. The peppery taste adds a delightful contrast to the creamy and smoky layers below.
  6. Finish your creation by drizzling the garlic olive oil over the assembled muffin halves. This step is essential, as it ties all the flavors together with a fragrant touch.

Notes

  • For a different flavor, try substituting goats cheese with cream cheese or ricotta.
  • Assemble the dish fresh to maintain the textures and flavors.
  • Experiment with toppings like capers or sliced cucumbers for added flavor.
