This Easy Smoked Salmon Appetizer Recipe begins with flaky puff pastry, topped with cream cheese, smoked salmon, lemon, capers and fresh dill. Perfect for an appetizer or breakfast!
Puff pastry is great with sweets. But I love it with savory recipes. That is what is fantastic about Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry, it is so versatile. Keep a package handy in your freezer and you can make, breakfast, appetizers, meals or desserts.
I had the amazing opportunity to attend a fabulous backyard party that featured recipes that used Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry. (check out the photos below) It was perfect party food because everything was so easy to eat with my hands.
I decided to create a puff pastry appetizer inspired by one of my favorite breakfasts. I adore a simple bagel with cream cheese, lox, lemon and capers. I used puff pastry instead of bagels, swapped the lox for smoked salmon and added fresh dill.
Perfect as an appetizer or breakfast!
Here is the group of lovely bloggers that I got to spend a morning with. Great conversation, delicious food and a gorgeous home. It was an awesome party!
These Mini Cherry Pies were the stand-out for me. I had to keep myself from eating every single one. But trust me, I ate my fair share . . . and then some.
I’m always blown away by a gorgeous table setting. Decorating in any way, shape or form is not one of my skills. So I am always really impressed when I see a beautifully put together table setting, like the one at this party.
The best part of the party was getting to spend time with some fellow bloggers that inspire me. There aren’t any bloggers in my area. So it’s always a treat to get some face-time with those that share my passion.
