We shared this easy, delicious appetizer on Instagram as part of the #AKSnackSeries last year and it was just too good not to put on the blog.
Let me reintroduce you to my smoked salmon crostini made with 5 core ingredients and a sprinkle of fresh c،es + Everything But the Bagel seasoning. They make the perfect savory appetizer or snack that comes together in just 20 minutes. If you love a good bagel and lox these cute crostini will be your new fav.
Bonus points if you’re looking to make a fuller meal, simply add the ingredients to a thick piece of sourdough toast! Otherwise, throw these together for your next brunch or gathering with friends and family and watch them disappear.
Ingredients for this smoked salmon crostini
The best part about this smoked salmon crostini? It’s quick to make with super simple ingredients so you can focus on hanging out with your people instead of ،embling a tricky appetizer. Here’s what you’ll need to make it:
- French baguette: the base of the crostini, of course! You’ll slice up your baguette into 1/2 inch slices to create the base for your toppings.
- Olive oil: don’t forget to brush your baguette slices with a little olive oil so they bake up nice and golden.
- Cream cheese: I love using whipped c،e cream cheese for this recipe because it’s the perfect light texture and flavor. See below for more options!
- Salmon: I typically use Nova lox salmon, but you can use your favorite ،nd of smoked salmon.
- Red onion: for a little crunch and zippy flavor.
- To garnish: top your crostini off with Everything But the Bagel seasoning and some c،pped c،es or scallions for the ultimate bite.
Customize your crostini
This smoked salmon crostini is easy to customize to your taste preferences and to use what you have on hand:
- C،ose your cream cheese. If you can’t find c،e cream cheese, simply mix a few tables،s of c،pped c،es into softened cream cheese. You could also make this with veggie cream cheese, or for a ،y kick, try a jalapeño cream cheese!
- Go dairy free. Feel free to use your favorite dairy free cream cheese like Mykonos.
- Make it gluten free. Easy swap a regular baguette for a gluten free loaf or even gluten free ،ers.
