Ingredients
  

For the Bruschetta:

  • 4 ounces goat cheese softened
  • 1 clove garlic freshly minced
  • 1 tablespoon chives finely chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 12 slices baguette
  • softened butter

Method
 

Build Smoked Salmon and Goat Cheese Bruschetta Step by Step
  1. In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, goat cheese, minced garlic, and chopped chives. Use a fork or spatula to mix everything together until you have a smooth and creamy consistency. Don’t forget to season with salt and pepper to taste!
  2. Take your baguette and slice it into 12 evenly sized pieces. Aim for about half an inch thick for the perfect bite-sized bruschetta.
  3. Spread softened butter on one side of each baguette slice. Place the slices butter-side down on a baking sheet and toast them in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for about 5-7 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
  4. Once the baguette slices are toasted, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool slightly. Spread a generous amount of the cheese mixture on top of each slice.
  5. Top each slice with a piece of smoked salmon. You can either fold the salmon or place it in a way that showcases its beautiful color and texture.
  6. For a final touch, sprinkle a few extra chopped chives over the bruschetta for garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy the delightful combination of flavors!

Notes

  • You can prep the cheese mixture a day in advance and store it in the refrigerator.
  • Toast the baguette slices just before serving for the best texture.
  • Assembled bruschetta is best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in the fridge for up to a day.
