Creamy, full of flavor and easy to make: rye bread sandwiches also known as Zebra's. Nice to serve or take along as a snack or to serve a high tea. Stuffed with salmon cream cheese and cucumber cream cheese.
A few years ago I tried to make the most spectacular appetizers for a New Year's party, but since everyone took something with them, that was actually a bit of a waste. So now I go for simple and tasty.
Easy Peasy is the way to go
So, are having a party, or do you want to take an appetizer with you? These rye bread sandwiches are great for most occasions to serve (and eat) as a delicious snack.
They are simple to prepare, easy to carry and delicious to eat. I have filled these with cream cheese: salmon and cucumber cream cheese, but of course, you have endless possibilities.

That looks terrific and I plan on making for New Years, but I think I will make it as a triple sandwich. Bottom like you made with the salmon spread and then the cucumber spread on top with a total of 3 pieces of bread for two fillings!
