Ingredients

2 x 200g packs smoked salmon
4 spring onions chopped
2-3 tbsp of capers drained
200g pot cream cheese
3 lemons cut into thin wedges, to serve
4 thin baguettes
splash of olive oil

Method

Slice the smoked salmon into thin strips. Combine the cream cheese with the chopped spring onions and drained capers. This mixture can be kept refrigerated for up to 2 days. Spread the cheese blend onto each prepared crostini base and finish with a strip of salmon. Offer lemon wedges alongside for serving.
To prepare the crostini, slice each of the 4 thin baguettes into 20 pieces, each about ½cm thick, and discard the ends. Lightly drizzle the slices with olive oil and grill them. Cook for 2-3 mins until they begin to turn golden, then flip and cook for another 1-2 mins until crisp and golden all over. Work in batches if needed. The finished bases can be stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
