Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 package puff pastry sheets
- 8 ounces herbed cream cheese
- 6 ounces smoked salmon
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Gently thaw the puff pastry sheets according to package instructions, ensuring they remain cold but pliable.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to smooth out any creases and slightly increase the size.
Using a sharp knife or a pizza cutter, cut the puff pastry into 2-inch squares. You should end up with approximately 24 squares.
Transfer the squares to the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 inch apart.
Bake the puff pastry squares in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until they are puffed and golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool completely.
While the puff pastry cools, prepare the filling. Spread about 1 teaspoon of herbed cream cheese on each piece of smoked salmon (you will have enough salmon for 24 portions).
Take the cooled puff pastry squares and gently press the center to create a slight indentation. Spoon or pipe a small dollop of herbed cream cheese into the indentation.
Top each puff pastry square with a rolled piece of smoked salmon.
Place the finished hors d’oeuvres on a serving platter. Garnish with fresh dill or a light sprinkle of lemon zest, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
