Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 baguette, cut into 1/2 inch slices (14-16 pieces)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 box Boursin garlic and herb cheese (about 2.5 oz)
  • 4 ounces whipped cream cheese
  • 4 ounces cold smoked salmon
  • 2 tablespoons pickled red onions
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill (or chives)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet and use a pastry brush to dot with olive oil. Bake for 7-8 minutes, or until lightly golden brown on the edges. 
  2. While bread is baking, combine Boursin, whipped cream cheese and lemon juice in a bowl until creamy and smooth. Once bread has cooled a bit, spread about a tablespoon of the cheese mixture on each crostini. Top with a small slice of smoked salmon, a couple of pickled onion slices, and a pinch of chives or dill.
  3. Garnish with lemon slices and serve immediately.

Notes

  • If you can’t find Boursin, feel free to add a few tablespoons of chives, dill and 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder and stir into 8 ounces of whipped cream cheese.
  • Make ahead: Prepare cheese mixture and prep toppings up to 4 hours in advance.
  • Storage: Best enjoyed fresh. Leftover cheese mixture keeps for 3 days refrigerated.
  • Scaling: Recipe easily doubles or triples for parties.
