Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large loaf Baguette
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 ounces Cream cheese
- 4 ounces Smoked salmon
- 1 tablespoon Dill
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons Capers
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 12 thin rounds, approximately 1/2-inch thick. Arrange the slices on a baking sheet.
Brush the top side of each slice lightly with olive oil.
Toast the baguette slices in the preheated oven for 5 minutes or until they are lightly golden and crisp.
While the bread is toasting, in a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, finely chopped dill, lemon zest, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Once the bread is toasted, remove it from the oven and let it cool slightly for 2-3 minutes.
Spread a thin layer of the dill cream cheese mixture on each toasted baguette slice.
Top each slice with a small piece of smoked salmon, folding it attractively if needed.
Add 3-4 capers on top of the smoked salmon for extra flavor.
Garnish each bruschetta with a small sprig of dill, if desired, for visual appeal.
Arrange the smoked salmon bruschettas on a serving platter and serve immediately as a delightful appetizer.
