Smoked Salmon Crostini
We love making this smoked salmon appetizer because it is simple and elegant!
Yield: serves 6
Ingredients
1 Package Plain Delicious Biscuits
4 oz smoked salmon in thin slices
4 oz Sour cream or to taste
Fresh Dill
Bread preparation:
Thaw bread, slice biscuits and lightly butter them on the inside. Note: This is easier if the butter is soft.
Heat oven to 400 degrees. Place the buttered bread on a sheet pan fitted with a rack so that the air circulates on both sides. Place sheet pan in oven for 8-10 minutes, or until bread is toasty and brown. If a panini press is an option, this is an excellent way to toast the bread as well. Let bread cool. Bread may be toasted the day before.
Spoon a dollop of sour cream on each biscuit. Top with a swirl of smoked salmon and a sprig of dill. Serve.
Figgy Piggy Crostini
This combination of ingredients makes an excellent appetizer or a sandwich on our Rustic Rosemary English muffins. So quick and delicious! As for wine, according to the makers of Prosciutto di Parma, “The obvious go-to pairing is found in wines made from the workhorse grape of Tuscany: Sangiovese, with its big, ripe, cherry fruit flavors, firm tannins, and high acidity. You can find it in Chianti, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, and Rosso di Montalcino, to name a few!”
