Mini milk cartons of toast with sharp cream cheese and spicy pepper sauce, a nod to the Dublin milk-throwing.
Four small milk cartons made from crispy toast, filled with tangy cream cheese and topped with a streak of spicy pepper sauce. The plate shows the thrown milk cartons from the news; the flavors are sharp and tense, just like the atmosphere around Biden's visit.
Ingredients
- 8 slices white sandwich bread, crusts removed
- 200 g cream cheese
- 2 tbsp sour cream
- 1 lime (juice and zest)
- 1 red chili pepper
- 1 red bell pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tsp white wine vinegar
- pinch of salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- 1 bunch chives
Method
- Preheat the oven to 180°C.
- Roll the bread slices flat with a rolling pin. Cut each slice in half and fold gently into small 'milk cartons' (square cups, open top).
- Brush the outside lightly with olive oil and bake for 10 minutes until golden and crisp. Let cool.
- Mix cream cheese, sour cream, lime juice and zest, a pinch of salt, and finely chopped chives into a fresh cream.
- Chop the bell pepper, deseed and finely chop the chili. Briefly fry in olive oil, add vinegar, puree into a smooth, spicy sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
- Fill the bread milk cartons with the cream cheese mixture. Spoon a streak of pepper sauce over the top, so it looks like milk is spilling out.
- Arrange the milk cartons in a scattered line on the plate, as if just thrown.
Serving notes
- Garnish with extra chives for a splash effect.
- Serve on a large, light plate for maximum impact.
- Set the milk cartons at an angle for dynamic effect.
