Smoked Salmon and Boursin Crostini
Made with ready-to-serve cold-smoked salmon and flavorful Boursin cheese, this Smoked Salmon and Boursin Crostini combines creamy, tangy, and savory flavors on a crispy baguette slice. It’s an elegant addition to any gathering, whether you're hosting a dinner party, a brunch, or a holiday celebration.
Ingredients
- 24 slices of baguette That’s about ½ baguette sliced into ¼-inch rounds.
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 115 grams smoked salmon
- 7 Tablespoons Boursin cheese Garlic & Fine Herbs
- 7 Tablespoons sour cream I used full-fat
- ½ teaspoon smoked pepper Substitute with regular black pepper.
- a few sprigs of fresh chives or fresh dill sprigs optional
Instructions
- Place a rack 6 inches from the broiler element and heat the broiler on high.
- Set the slices of baguette on a baking sheet. Brush the tops with a little olive oil.
- Place the baking sheet under the broiler and toast the bread until they are crispy and lightly golden on top, about 2 minutes. For extra crispy crostini, flip the slices over, brush lightly with oil and place under broiler for a minute or two.
- Whisk the Boursin cheese with the sour cream until you have a lump free creamy consistency.
- Spread the creamy mixture on the crostini. Top with a slice of smoked salmon and sprinkle with a tiny bit of pepper.
- To finish, garnish with fresh chives or fresh dill.
- Serve immediately.
Notes
- The moisture from the Boursin cheese will soften the crostini somewhat so it's best to serve these as soon as possible after you've assembled them.
