Ingredients- 1 slice of 3-layer cheese
- 50g fresh salmon
- 60g red onion
- 10g salad greens
- Blueberries (a few)
- Pineapple chunks
- 1/2 kiwi
- 2-3 cherry tomatoes
- 6 slices of baguette
- 1 Tbsp minced fresh garlic
- 15g unsalted butter
- 1/2 tsp dried parsley flakes
- 2 Tbsp cream cheese
- 2 Tbsp plain yogurt
- 1 Tbsp capers (minced)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Prepare the 3-layer cheese, which is known for its creamy texture thanks to the generous amount of cream cheese sandwiched within. Use cookie cutters to shape the cheese into decorative forms – this adds a playful and elegant touch to your presentation.
Step 2
Finely slice the red onion, then soak it in cold water for about 10 minutes to mellow its sharpness. Drain well and mince finely. In a small bowl, melt the 15g of butter. Stir in 1 Tbsp of minced garlic and 1/2 tsp of dried parsley flakes to create a flavorful garlic butter sauce. Finely chop the fresh salmon, removing any skin or bones. Prepare your garnishes: a few blueberries, pineapple pieces, sliced kiwi, cherry tomatoes, salad greens, and edible flowers if available.
Step 3
Generously brush both sides of each baguette slice with the prepared garlic butter sauce. Place the brushed baguette slices onto a dry skillet over medium-low heat and toast until golden brown and crisp on both sides. Allow them to cool completely to maintain their crispness. (Tip: For a quicker alternative, you can toast the baguette slices in butter and then rub a clove of raw garlic over them to infuse a garlic aroma.)
Step 4
In a separate bowl, combine 2 Tbsp of cream cheese and 2 Tbsp of plain yogurt. Whisk until smooth to create a creamy spread. Stir in 1 Tbsp of finely minced capers. Spread this cream cheese and caper mixture generously onto the cooled, toasted baguette slices. Sprinkle the finely minced red onion evenly over the spread. Now, artfully arrange the shaped 3-layer cheese pieces and the prepared fresh fruits on top.
Step 5
For an extra touch of freshness and color, garnish with fresh salad greens and edible flowers according to your preference. The vibrant ingredients will create a visually stunning appetizer.
Step 6
Finally, carefully place the finely chopped fresh salmon on top of the garnishes. Your delicious 3-layer cheese salmon bruschetta is now complete! This elegant dish is not only a fantastic choice for drinks but also serves beautifully as an appetizer for guests or a delightful snack.
