Prepare the Herb Cream:
Start by making the herb cream. In a bowl, soften the mascarpone and ricotta with a splash of whole milk until the mixture reaches a creamy, spreadable consistency. Add finely chopped chives, parsley, thyme, and dill, mixing thoroughly. Season with salt and white pepper to taste. -
Make the Smoked Salmon Cream:
In a food processor, combine the smoked salmon slices and a few tablespoons of whole milk. Process until smooth and creamy. Add 80g of mascarpone, mixing until well combined. Season with salt as needed. Set aside. -
Create the Prosciutto Cream:
In the food processor, add the cooked ham and blend it with a few tablespoons of milk until it reaches a smooth, creamy texture. Combine this with another portion of mascarpone to create a richer, fuller flavor. Blend until smooth and creamy. Season with salt and adjust the consistency if needed with a bit more milk. -
Chill the Creams:
Once all three creams are ready, transfer them to separate bowls and place them in the fridge to chill for at least 30 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up. -
Prepare the Tartines:
While the creams chill, take the white bread slices (pancarrè) and cut them into your preferred shape using a cookie cutter or knife. You can create circles, squares, or any fun shapes depending on the occasion. -
Assemble the Tartines:
Once the creams are firm and chilled, it’s time to assemble the tartines. Spread a generous amount of each cream onto the bread slices, creating different flavor combinations. You can choose to make each tartine a single flavor or mix them for a delightful trio of tastes on one bite. Serve on a platter and enjoy this elegant appetizer!
These trio tartines, filled with creamy textures and fresh, fragrant herbs, are the perfect start to any meal or a sophisticated bite to serve at your next gathering.
