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 salmon
- ¼ red onion, very thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon Everything But the Bagel seasoning
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped chives or scallions
Instructions
- Prepare the Baguette Slices: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet and brush each slice lightly with extra virgin olive oil.
- Bake the Crostini: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake the slices for about 10-12 minutes or until crisp and golden brown. Remove from the oven and let cool slightly.
- Assemble the Crostini: Spread a generous layer of whipped chive cream cheese on each toasted baguette slice. Top with a slice of Nova lox salmon.
- Add Garnishes: Place a few thin slices of red onion on top of the salmon, then sprinkle with Everything But the Bagel seasoning for extra flavor.
- Finish with Herbs: Garnish each crostini with finely chopped chives or scallions. Serve immediately and enjoy these flavorful bites!
Notes
- For a milder onion flavor, soak the red onion slices in cold water for 10 minutes before using.
- You can prepare the crostini up to the baking step in advance, then assemble just before serving.
- These can be served as a delicious brunch item or elegant appetizer for parties.
