Ingredients
  

  • 3 units eggs
  • 150 g Scottish smoked salmon
  • 200 g fresh cheese
  • 125 ml water
  • 100 g butter
  • 150 g flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 1 teaspoon lemon juice
  • to taste black pepper

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Piping Bag or Spoon
  • Bowl
  • Fork
  • Wire Rack

Method
 

  1. In a saucepan, bring the water and butter to a boil over medium heat. Add the salt and remove from heat.
  2. Quickly add the flour all at once and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon until a smooth dough forms.
  3. Return the pan to low heat and stir for 2-3 minutes to dry out the dough slightly. Remove from heat and let it cool for a few minutes.
  4. Gradually add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition until the dough is smooth and shiny.
  5. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  6. Using a piping bag or a spoon, form two concentric circles of the choux pastry on the baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and puffed up. Let it cool on a wire rack.
  8. While the pastry is cooling, mash the ripe avocados in a bowl. Add the lemon juice, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth and creamy.
  9. Cut the cooled choux pastry rings horizontally into two halves.
  10. Spread a generous layer of the avocado cream on the bottom half, top with slices of Scottish smoked salmon and a dollop of fresh cheese.
  11. Gently place the top half of the pastry ring on top and repeat with the remaining pastries.

Notes

Make sure the choux pastry is fully cooled before assembling to prevent the avocado cream from melting. For a more vibrant color, consider adding finely chopped fresh herbs like dill or chives to the avocado cream. Feel free to experiment with different types of smoked salmon or even other types of fish for a unique flavor profile. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat briefly in the oven for best results. Great for gatherings, picnics, or potlucks, as it can be made ahead of time and served cold.
