Smoked Salmon Crostini
Behold a fabulously flavorful NYE appetizer recipe! The smoked salmon crostini.

Crostinis are basically a crispy baguette round. They are easy to make – simply slice a baguette into rounds then drizzle each with a little bit of olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Bake at 350 degrees F for about 8 minutes or until slightly crispy. Once they’re cooled, you can top them with your favorite topping combination.
Today I’m topping them with a cream cheese and Greek yogurt mix (with lemon!), some smoked salmon, fresh dill sprigs, briny capers (optional) and freshly cracked black pepper.

These little toasts will disappear in no-time!
Happy New Year, friends!
