How to Make Hot Honey Smoked Salmon Crostini
There’s nothing difficult about making our hot honey smoked salmon crostini. The first thing you want to do is bring the cream cheese out of the fridge and set it on a plate to get it to room temperature.
Then, make the hot honey. While the hot honey is steeping for 15 minutes, you can make the smoked salmon spread and preheat the oven to 400-degrees. Combine the smoked salmon, juice from a lemon, cream cheese, sour cream, salt, pepper, and chives.
Next, slice the baguette into half-inch-thick slices and place those pieces on a baking sheet. Then drizzle the bread slices with olive oil and bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until light golden brown.
Let the crostini cool completely, then put on the salmon spread and drizzle with the hot honey.
Storage
Prepared smoked salmon dip will last up to five days in the refrigerator. The hot honey will last much longer, up to six months.
