Smoked Salmon Apetizer

I have a cousin who loves smoked salmon or trout and is sure to get a kick out of these!

Ingredients:
3 oz smoked salmon
Crackers of your choice (we like Carr's cracked pepper)
Cream cheese
Green onion chopped
Fresh dill (optional)


1. Cut up the smoked salmon to fit the crackers.
2. Put a heap of cream cheese on the cracker and then a piece of the smoked salmon
3. Top with a few green onions and a small amount of fresh dill.

*We did not have any dill on hand, so did not use any.  But this adds a lovely fresh flavor if you have some!

Bruscetta

Bruscetta, a classic appetizer. This is my own recipie!!

1. Cut up a french baguette to about 1.5" thickness.
2. Mince some garlic.  Wipe baguette pieces with olive oil and sprinkle the minced garlic on each piece.
3. Chop up some tomatoes and red onion. Mix together and put a spoonful on each piece of baguette.
4. Put a small amount of pesto onto of the tomato/onion mixture
5. Top with thinkly sliced parmesean or asiago cheese.
6. Bake at 375 for 7 minutes. Serve immediately. 

These won't last long :)
