Smoked Salmon Crostini

Few combinations are as timeless as smoked salmon and cream cheese, and these Smoked Salmon Crostini takes that pairing to the next level.

With a crisp baguette base, a smooth and flavorful spread, and delicate slices of salmon, these bite-sized treats are as beautiful as they are delicious. Perfect for brunch, cocktail parties, or even a light appetizer before dinner, they bring a gourmet touch to any occasion.

We are using mascarpone cream instead of cream cheese in this recipe. It has a slightly different flavor but has the same rich, creamy texture.

Helpful Tips

• Choose a sturdy bread: A baguette works best to hold the toppings without getting soggy.
• Soften the mascarpone before spreading: This makes it easier to apply and creates a smooth, even layer.
• Layer strategically: Start with the spread, then the cucumber, salmon, and finish with garnishes like green onions and capers for extra flavor and color.
