Ingredients

  • 8 thin slices sourdough or white bread

  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil

  • 1 smoked trout (about 4 ounces), skin and pin bones removed, flesh flaked

  • 2 tablespoons snipped chives

  • Salt and freshly ground pepper

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°. Brush the bread on one side with the olive oil. Using a 2-inch round biscuit cutter, cut 2 rounds from each slice. Arrange the rounds on a lightly oiled baking sheet and toast for about 10 minutes, or until golden.
