Servings: 12 people
Ingredients
- 12 oz cold smoked salmon
Crescent Crostini
- 1 can crescent dough sheet
- 1 Tablespoon everything bagel seasoning
Lemon Dill Cream Cheese
- 1 cup softened cream cheese
- 1 clove garlic minced
- 2 Tablespoons sour cream
- 2 Tablespoons fresh dill chopped
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- zest and juice of ½ a lemon
Instructions
- Preheat the oven. Before you begin preparing your crescent squares, preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
- Make the crescent crostinis. Spray a baking sheet with nonstick baking spray. Roll out your crescent dough on the baking sheet. Cut the dough into fourths and then sixths (making 24 equal squares). Spray the top of the crescent squares with nonstick baking spray. Sprinkle the squares with everything bagel seasoning. Bake the crescent squares for 12 minutes until golden brown.
- Make the lemon dill cream cheese. While the crescent dough is baking, add all ingredients for the cream cheese in a medium bowl and whisk together. Mix well and set aside. For easier preparation, spoon the mixture into a piping bag.
- Assemble the appetizers. When the crescent dough squares are done baking, remove them from the oven all allow to cool completely. Once cool, top each crostini with a slice of smoked salmon, and then pipe or spoon a dollop of the lemon dill cream cheese mixture. Top each with a tiny sprig of fresh dill. Serve immediately.
