Instructions
Step 1
Start by taking 8 slices of **sandwich bread**. Make shallow cuts in the bread slices to form squares or squares, but do not cut completely through the bread. This will create a fun texture and allow for easy assembly.
Once done, preheat your oven to **220°C (428°F)** and arrange the bread slices on a baking tray. Let them bake for **10 to 15 minutes** until they achieve a nice golden crust.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine **100 grams of crab sticks**, finely chopped, with **150 grams of cream cheese**. Stir well until you have a creamy mixture.
Add **50 grams of fish roe**, and season with **salt and black ground pepper** to taste. Make sure everything is well incorporated for a smooth texture and rich flavor.
Step 3
Once the bread is ready and cool enough to handle, spoon the filling onto each slice. Make sure to spread it evenly for a delightful bite every time.
Serve your delicious holiday snack on a plate with fresh **lettuce leaves** and drizzle some **sweet and sour sauce** over the top for that perfect contrast in flavors. Enjoy your festive treat!
Servings
Once your stunning holiday snack is ready, presentation is the key! Serve it up on a beautiful platter with fresh **salad greens** 🌱 to create an attractive display. A side of **sweet and sour sauce** adds an exciting flavor twist that your guests will love. Get creative with garnishing – a sprinkle of herbs can elevate the appearance and taste! You can also pair these goodies with sparkling drinks or hot cocoa for that cozy vibe. 🥂🍫
Equipment
Choose a sturdy baking tray to ensure even cooking. Make sure to line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup and to avoid sticking.
A sharp knife is essential for making precise cuts in the bread without squishing it. Slice carefully to maintain the perfect shape.
