Preparation

Step 1

1.) Cut the brioche in half. Cut a dozen 1/2" slices, and then trim slices into even squares. If you need more bread, slice the remaining half loaf. Lightly toast the brioche using the lowest setting on your toaster or arrange the bread slices on a baking sheet and toast in an oven set to 350 degree F for two minutes on each side. The bread should have barely any color after toasting. Set the toasted slices aside.

2.) I like to leave on the cucumber peel for color; if you leave the peel, wash and dry the cucumber and then slice it as thinly as possible. Set the slices aside.

3.) In a small bowl, combine the wasabi and the whipped cream cheese with a spoon, mixing until the wasabi is completely dispersed throughout the cream cheese. Spread about 1/2 tsp of the wasabi cream cheese in a thin, even layer on each slice of bread. Top with a slice of smoked salmon and trim off any excess so the salmon is perfectly even with the bread slice all the way around. Top with the cucumber. Sprinkle with chives. Arrange on a large platter or tray and serve.
