Smoked Spread Zesty Brioche Bites

Smoked Spread: Big Flavour on a Small Plate

Serves: 6
Time: 10 minutes

You’ll need

• Forged Cultured Quail Smoked Spread

• Mini Brioche

• Kewpie Mayo
  
  

• Cucumber

• Sugar
  

Method

1. Toast.
   Slice mini brioche buns in half. In a hot pan, sear each side with a little Forged Smoked Quail Spread until golden and lightly crisp — this builds a smoky, buttery base.

2. Pickle.
   In a small bowl, combine sliced cucumbers with a teaspoon of sugar and a pinch of salt. Let sit for a few minutes (or as long as you have!) until lightly pickled and bright.

3. Whip.
   Stir fresh lemon juice into Kewpie mayonnaise to create a zesty, creamy sauce with a sharp edge that cuts through the richness.

4. Layer.
   Spread a generous layer of Forged Smoked Quail Spread onto the toasted brioche. Add a spoonful of the zesty Kewpie, then top with the pickled cucumbers for crunch and contrast.

To serve

Stack and serve warm — each brioche bite layered with smoky cultured quail, zesty mayo, and bright pickled cucumber.

Buttery, tangy, and fresh, it's the kind of bite that disappears before you’ve finished describing it.
