1 slice country bread, thinly sliced
2 slices smoked salmon
1 ½ tablespoons cream cheese
⅛ red onion, thinly sliced, soaked in water, drained
2 teaspoons olive oil, divided
Fresh herbs (e.g., dill, chervil, or Italian parsley)
Preheat the pan over medium heat for about 90 seconds. Add half the olive oil and swirl to coat evenly. Once the oil begins to smoke across the entire surface of the pan, turn off the heat.
When the smoke clears, place the bread in the pan. Turn the heat back on and toast over low heat for 1 ½ minutes while gently pressing down with a spatula. Once the bread turns golden brown, flip it over. Add the remaining olive oil and spread it evenly across the pan. Toast for another 1 ½ minutes, until both sides are golden brown.
Spread cream cheese onto the toast. Top with smoked salmon and thinly sliced red onion, and finish with a garnish of your favorite herbs.
