One step at a time
Let’s make it
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Arrange baguette slices on baking sheet and toast 8 to 10 minutes until golden and crisp.
- In a bowl, mix cream cheese, mayonnaise, sriracha, and lemon juice until smooth and spicy but balanced.
- Spread about 1 tablespoon of cream cheese mixture on each crostini.
- Top evenly with smoked salmon slices.
- Garnish with capers, fresh dill, and a grind of black pepper before serving.
A little kitchen know-how
Toast baguette slices just until golden to keep crostini crisp but easy to bite.
Storage & leftovers
Store assembled crostini in a single layer covered with plastic wrap in refrigerator up to 12 hours. Assemble just before serving for best texture.
