Equipment
Ingredients
For the crostini
- 8 ounce baguette, sliced into 12 ½" slices
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
Cheese spread
- 8 ounces whipped cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill (or ½ teaspoon dried dill)
- ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
For toppings
- 6 ounces smoked salmon slices
- ¼ cup thinly sliced red onion
- 1 teaspoon capers
- 1 teaspoon chopped dill for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Bake the bread
- Brush olive oil evenly over the baguette slices. You may need more than 2 tablespoons but be sure not to totally soak the slices; you just want to brush an even layer on top of one side.
- Place the baguette slices onto the prepared baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes, flipping bread slices over halfway through the cooking time.
Make the cheese spread
- In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, lemon juice, dill, salt, and pepper with a fork or whisk until well combined.
Assemble the crostini
- Spread cream cheese spread mixture evenly over each crostini.
- Top with sliced smoked salmon.
- Sprinkle a few thin slices of red onion on each crostini.
- Top each crostini with a few capers.
- Sprinkle chopped dill to garnish. Serve with lemon slices.
