Smoked Salmon, Cream Cheese Stuffed Mushrooms
Looking for an incredible flavor-bursting bite to accompany that chilled flute of bubbly? Look no further. This hors d’ oeuvre will satisfy that umami, salty, creamy, briny, longing. Not only packed full of flavor and texture, but it also is quick and easy to prepare and can be made ahead of time and finished in the oven at just moments before the guests arrive.
ONWARD:
Choose sliced cold-smoked salmon rather than a smoked salmon filet for ease in rolling small rosettes. If at all possible, find Nancy’s probiotic cream cheese rather than that tacky gum and additive-laden grey box cream cheese. The appropriate ingredients will guarantee a truly happy hour!
12 servings
INGREDIENTS:
12 small whole cremini mushrooms, stems removed, (about 8 ounces)
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
¼ teaspoon sea salt
⅛ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
½ cup cream cheese
1 tablespoon capers, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
3 ounces thinly sliced smoked salmon
12 fresh dill leaves (for garnish)
DIRECTIONS:
Preheat oven to 375°F.
Toss the mushroom caps with the olive oil to coat. Place on a parchment or Silpat lined baking sheet pan. Sprinkle with salt and black pepper. Bake until lightly cooked, about five minutes.
Meanwhile, mix the cream cheese, capers, and chopped dill. Distribute the cream cheese mixture in the baked mushroom caps. Roll twelve thin slices of smoked salmon into rose-shaped circles and place in the center of the cream cheese. May be refrigerated for a few hours before finish baking.
Return the stuffed mushrooms to the oven. Bake until heated thoroughly, about eight to ten minutes. Transfer to a serving platter and garnish with the fresh dill leaves.
