Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Baguette
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 8 ounces Smoked salmon
- 2 tablespoons Capers
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 1/2-inch thick slices, yielding about 16-20 pieces.
Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush both sides lightly with olive oil.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the slices are golden brown and crispy. Let them cool slightly.
In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, chopped dill, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Spread about 1-2 teaspoons of the cream cheese mixture onto each toasted baguette slice, covering evenly.
Top each crostini with a slice of smoked salmon, folding or layering it attractively as needed.
Add a few capers and a sprinkle of freshly chopped chives on top of each crostini.
Optional: Garnish with additional dill or a small wedge of lemon for presentation.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
