Ingredients
Scale
For the Crostini
- 1 French baguette, cut into 1/2 inch slices
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Toppings
- 8 ounces whipped chive cream cheese
- 4 ounces Nova lox smoked salmon
- ¼ red onion, very thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon Everything But the Bagel seasoning
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives or scallions
Instructions
- Preheat and toast the baguette slices: Preheat your oven to 350ºF. Arrange the sliced baguette on a baking sheet and brush each slice lightly with extra virgin olive oil. Bake the slices for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they become lightly golden brown on the edges. Remove from the oven and allow them to cool slightly.
- Assemble the crostini: Spread about a tablespoon of whipped chive cream cheese evenly onto each toasted baguette slice. Top each with a portion of the Nova lox smoked salmon, followed by a couple of very thin red onion slices. Sprinkle a shake of Everything But the Bagel seasoning over the top, then garnish with a pinch of finely chopped chives or scallions.
- Serve and enjoy: Arrange the assembled crostini on your favored serving plate, cutting board, or platter. Serve immediately to maintain the crispiness of the crostini and enjoy this flavorful appetizer with friends and family.
Notes
- You can substitute the French baguette with a good-quality Italian bread or sourdough if preferred.
- Feel free to swap the chive cream cheese for plain cream cheese mixed with fresh herbs if you don’t have whipped chive cream cheese.
- For an added touch, drizzle a little fresh lemon juice or olive oil before serving.
- These crostini are best enjoyed fresh to keep the baguette crispy.
- Everything But the Bagel seasoning can be found in most grocery stores or online if unavailable locally.
