Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 loaf Baguette
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
- 6 ounces Smoked salmon
- 2 tablespoons Capers
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Slice the baguette into 1/4-inch thick rounds. Arrange the slices in a single layer on a baking sheet.
Brush the top of each slice with olive oil, then bake in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes, or until the edges are golden and crisp. Remove and let cool.
While the baguette slices are toasting, prepare the cream cheese spread. In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese with lemon juice, finely chopped fresh dill, salt, and pepper until smooth and combined.
Spread a generous layer of the flavored cream cheese on each toasted baguette slice.
Top each crostini with a small piece of smoked salmon.
Sprinkle capers evenly over the crostini for a burst of tangy flavor.
Optional: Garnish each crostini with a small sprig of fresh dill for presentation.
Serve immediately and enjoy!
