Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Smoked salmon
- 12 pieces Endive leaves
- 150 grams Cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 teaspoons Capers (optional)
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Gently separate the endive leaves, ensuring they remain whole and intact. Rinse them under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, fresh dill, lemon juice, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well incorporated.
If using capers, chop them finely and stir them into the cream cheese mixture.
Cut the smoked salmon into small bite-sized strips, roughly the length of the endive leaves.
Take a prepared endive leaf and spoon about 1 teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture into the base of the leaf.
Place a small strip of smoked salmon on top of the cream cheese filling.
Repeat with the remaining endive leaves, cream cheese mixture, and smoked salmon.
Arrange the filled endive leaves on a serving platter. Garnish with extra chopped dill or a light squeeze of lemon juice if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your elegant, fresh appetizer!
