NOTES
1. - Rye Bread Circles Use a round (cookie) cutter to make the rye bread rounds. If you don't have one take a glass, put it upside down on the rye bread. Take a sharp knife and cut it out round around the glass. You can cut the smoked trout but you can also pull a bit of fish loose.
2. - Horseradish Cream
It's beautiful to use a piping bag for the horseradish cream. But if you don't have one, you can also use a teaspoon and add some cream on top of the trout.
3. - Smoked trout
Smoked trout can always contain a piece of bone. Pay special attention to this during preparation and check the fish really well.
4. - Storage / Prepare in advance
- Refrigerator full snacks- Because this is an appetizer with smoked fish, make sure you store this appetizer until you're serving it in the refrigerator. Prepare them on the same day as you're going to eat them.
- Room temperature (Rye Bread) - Cut out the rye bread and wrap it in plastic foil. You can store them for up to 2 days at room temperature.
- Refrigerator (Slice cucumber and horseradish cream) - You can also slice the cucumber in the morning. Store them, together with a slightly wet paper towel so they won't dry out, in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The horseradish can be mixed with the sour cream and put into the piping bag up to 1 day in advance. Store in the refrigerator.
