Never under estimate the power of smoked salmon. A little goes a long way to make a big impression. The other night I picked up a bit of thinly sliced smoked salmon, fromage blanc (a mild cheese spread) and a baguette. I wanted something simple yet delicious to impress my sweetie before dinner. Hors d’oeuvres/appetizers always seem to make a simple meal at home more special.
To make the crostini, I thinkly sliced the baguette into small rounds and toasted them. I cut the salmon to fit perfectly atop the crostini. Once toasted, I spread a generous layer of fromage blanc on each crostini and topped with the smolked salmon (feel free to sprinkle with chopped parsley for an extra pop of color). Et voila! A delicious appetizer that wowed the crowd. Three simple ingredients and ten minutes was all I needed. Can’t wait to make these again soon.
