Liptauer Appetizers
- 1 package (8 oz.) cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons low-fat milk
- 2 teaspoons anchovy paste
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 tablespoon onion
- 1/4 pound thin-sliced firm-textured, dense pumpernickel, rye, or other dark bread
- 1 teaspoon caraway seed
- 48 drained capers
- chopped fresh chives
- In a bowl, beat 1 package (8 oz.) cream cheese to blend with 2 tablespoons low-fat milk, 2 teaspoons anchovy paste, and 1 teaspoon paprika. Grate 1 tablespoon onion and rub through a fine strainer into cheese mixture. Stir to blend. Put cheese mixture in a pastry bag with a star tip.
- Cut 1/4 pound thin-sliced firm-textured, dense pumpernickel, rye, or other dark bread into 48 equal pieces. Arrange on a platter.
- Twist bag top tightly down to filling, fold top down against bag, and grasp bag in one hand to hold top in place. Squeeze to press about 1 teaspoon of the cheese mixture onto each square of bread, holding bread with the other hand. Release pressure on bag slightly and lift straight up to detach bag from cheese.
- Sprinkle appetizers lightly with caraway seed (about 1 teaspoon total), dot each with a drained caper, and sprinkle with chopped fresh chives.
