Pumpernickel Surprise
As the holiday parties continue, we thought we would share some more appetizer inspiration!

INGREDIENTS
8 small slices (1/4 inch thick) pumpernickel bread
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons prepared horseradish, with beets or plain
4 ounces smoked trout fillets, pin bones and skin removed, fillets flaked into large pieces
16 small sprigs dill
1 lemon
DIRECTIONS
Cut each slice of bread on the diagonal in half.
Spread one side of each with butter, then with horseradish.
Top each with a piece of smoked trout and a sprig of dill.
Cover with plastic wrap and set aside until ready to serve (up to 2 hours).
Before serving, squeeze lemon juice over tops.
