Cooking Tips

• Make sure to use a good quality smoked salmon for the best flavor.
• You can add some capers or thinly sliced red onions as additional toppings for extra flavor.
• If you prefer a milder flavor, you can use plain cream cheese instead of the lemon-dill flavored one.
• To make it ahead of time, you can prepare the toasted bread slices and the cream cheese mixture separately. Assemble them just before serving to keep the bread crispy.

Storage and Serving

• Smoked Salmon Cream Cheese Bruschetta is best served immediately after assembly to maintain the crispiness of the bread.
• If you have leftovers, store the toasted bread slices and the cream cheese mixture separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator.
• When ready to serve, reheat the bread slices in the oven for a few minutes until warm and crispy.
• Assemble the bruschetta just before serving by spreading the cream cheese mixture and topping it with smoked salmon.
• Garnish with fresh dill and a squeeze of lemon juice, if desired, and enjoy!
