Open Faced Jarlsberg Sandwiches With Greens Recipes

Steps:

• Toast the bread. Trim the crusts. Halve the slices into 1 1/2-by-3-inch pieces.
• For the prosciutto and ricotta: In a small bowl, mix together the ricotta, olive oil, lemon zest and salt. Spread the mixture on 6 pieces of bread. Ribbon a piece of prosciutto on top and garnish with 2 arugula leaves.
• For the avocado: Place 2 slices of avocado on 6 pieces of bread. Sprinkle evenly with the quinoa, sea salt and chile flakes.
• For the smoked salmon: In a small bowl, mix together the creme fraiche and capers. Spread evenly over the remaining 6 pieces of bread. Ribbon a piece of salmon over the top and garnish with 1 or 2 batons of chive.

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. In 12-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil on medium 1 minute. Add garlic and cook 3 to 4 minutes or until garlic is golden, stirring occasionally. Stir in spinach and cook 1 to 2 minutes or until spinach wilts. Stir in 1/8 teaspoon each salt and freshly ground black pepper. Remove skillet from heat.
• Meanwhile, place bread on cookie sheet and toast in broiler 2 minutes or until beginning to brown.
• Turn toasted bread over and spread Dijon on top of bread slices; top with spinach, sliced tomatoes, then cheese. Broil sandwiches 2 to 3 minutes or until cheese melts and begins to brown.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, scallion, parsley, chives, dill, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Reserve a small amount of fresh dill for garnish. Mix until everything is evenly distributed. Cover and chill the mixture for at least 1 hour before serving.
• Spread 1 to 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture on a crispbread cracker or rye bread (best if lightly toasted). Repeat until all of the cream cheese mixture has been used.
• Top with cucumber slices, and sprinkle with reserved fresh dill. Eat immediately!
• Variation: Instead of baby cucumbers, top the herbed cream cheese mixture with smoked salmon and red onions.

Steps:

• Cut the top quarter off the loaf horizontally with a serrated knife and remove the soft crumb from the top and bottom sections, leaving two 1/2-inch-thick shells. In a bowl stir together the olives, the Jarlsberg, the artichoke hearts, the red peppers, the parsley, the capers, the oil, and salt and pepper to taste and spoon the mixture into the bottom bread shell, smoothing the surface. Fit the top bread shell on the filled bottom shell and press the sandwich together firmly, re-forming the loaf. Wrap the sandwich tightly in plastic wrap, chill it for 1 hour, and with the serrated knife cut it carefully into 4 wedges. (The sandwich may be made 1 day in advance and kept wrapped and chilled).
