Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Egg Filling

In a mixing bowl, combine 2 large eggs with 1 tablespoon cream cheese. Season with salt and pepper according to your taste.

Using a fork, mash everything together until well blended.

Step 2

Prepare the Cucumber

Take a cucumber and thinly slice it using a vegetable peeler. Ensure the slices are delicate and flexible.

Lay the cucumber slices slightly overlapping on a clean sheet of cling film, as demonstrated in the video.

To remove excess moisture, gently pat the cucumber slices with a paper towel.

Step 3

Assemble the Rolls

Spread the egg and cream cheese mixture evenly over the cucumber slices. Next, layer with smoked salmon and slices of avocado.

Roll the entire assembly tightly and slice into bite-sized pieces. For an extra touch, you can top with additional smoked salmon and a drizzle of spicy sauce.

Serve alongside soy sauce for dipping.

Step 4

Make the Aperol Spritz

In a glass, mix together 40 milliliters Drinksome Italian Orange Spritz, 110 milliliters Drinksome Semi-sweet Sparkling Wine, and 30 milliliters Drinksome Indian Tonic.

Stir gently to combine and serve chilled over ice.

Step 5

Prepare the Gin Fizz

In another glass, combine 20 milliliters Drinksome Dry London Gin, 25 milliliters Drinksome Cranberries & Spices, and 100 milliliters Drinksome Dry Sparkling Wine.

Mix well and serve promptly over ice for a refreshing drink.

Servings

✨ When it's time to serve, make your presentation pop! Arrange your Salmon and Cucumber Rolls on a pretty platter, and don’t forget to dollop some soy sauce on the side for dipping. For added flair, you can sprinkle some sesame seeds or microgreens on top.

Faq

  • What if my rolls keep falling apart?

    Make sure to slice your cucumber thin enough to wrap around the filling easily. Additionally, let the ingredients come together nicely in the roll, applying a little pressure when rolling to help it stick.

  • Can I prepare the rolls ahead of time?

    Absolutely! You can prepare the rolls a few hours in advance. Just make sure to wrap them in plastic wrap to keep them fresh and store them in the fridge until you're ready to serve.

  • How can I enhance the flavor of the filling?

    Don't hesitate to get creative with your fillings! Consider adding herbs like dill or chives, or even some capers for an extra burst of flavor.

  • What is the best way to slice the rolls for serving?

    Using a sharp knife, slice the rolls into bite-sized pieces for easy serving. A quick tip is to wet the knife with some water before slicing; this helps ensure a clean cut.

  • Can I use different types of fish in this recipe?

    Definitely! Feel free to experiment with different types of fish, such as smoked salmon, tuna, or even crab meat. Each will give your rolls a unique twist!

  • What's the best way to pair cocktails with these rolls?

    Picking cocktails that highlight refreshing flavors works best. Light, bubbly drinks like gin fizzes or spritz cocktails enhance the overall experience and complement the fresh taste of the rolls.
