Make elegant appetizers quickly using pre-smoked salmon and a simple dill cream cheese spread on toasted baguette slices.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 baguette, sliced into 1/2-inch rounds
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 8 ounces smoked salmon, thinly sliced
  • Fresh dill sprigs, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Brush both sides of the baguette slices lightly with olive oil.
  3. Bake the bread slices for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until lightly golden and crisp. Set aside to cool.
  4. In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped dill, lemon juice, lemon zest, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
  5. Spread a generous layer of the dill cream cheese mixture onto each cooled crostini slice.
  6. Top each spread slice with a folded piece of smoked salmon.
  7. Garnish each crostini with a small sprig of fresh dill before serving.

Notes

  • You can toast the baguette slices ahead of time and store them in an airtight container for up to two days.
  • For a sharper flavor, substitute half of the cream cheese with plain Greek yogurt.
  • If you do not have fresh dill, use 1 teaspoon of dried dill, but reduce the amount slightly.
