Ingredients

For the toast

  • Cracked black pepper

For the dill soft cheese

  • 2.6 ounces soft cheese (75g)
  • 1 tsp fresh dill finely chopped
  • A squeeze of fresh lemon juice
  • Cracked black pepper to taste

For the mustard soft cheese

  • 1 ounce soft cheese (30g)

To build the dish

Instructions

  • Put a frying pan over a medium high heat.

Place the slices into the hot pan and fry until golden brown, about 5minutes each side.Once done, remove from the heat and set to one side.
  • In a bowl mix the ingredients for the dill soft cheese together. In another bowl, mix the cheese and mustard together.
  • Make sure the toast is cool before layering up.
  • Take a piece of toast and evenly spread half of the soft cheese mustard over the top. Place 3 slices of cucumber on top so that they don't overlap. evenly spread half of the dill soft cheese on top of the cucumber. Roll a strip of salmon into a cone shape and place on top, then place half a teaspoon of caviar in the middle of the salmon.
  • Place on a bed of rocket and dress with dill and a lemon slice. Repeat for the second plate.
