Instructions
Making The Flavored Cream Cheese
- Whip the cream cheese till light and fluffy. Add the remaining ingredients and stir until incorporated. Set to the side.
Creating the Canapes
- Spread cream cheese mixture over slices of bread. Top each with salmon (it’s OK to use pieces of salmon to cover cheese, you won’t notice it once you cut the appetizer). Add a second layer of cheese and top with a second layer of salmon. Put a final layer of cheese on the top. Refrigerate for several hours or overnight, covered. Place toothpicks in your appetizers to keep plastic wrap from touching the cheese.
The Final Touch
- Top each appetizer with the caviar. Using a sharp serrated knife, cut the appetizers in half. Using the knife, trim the outer edges to create a clean look. Keep chilled till ready to serve. Garnish with a sprig of fresh dill just prior to serving.
