How To Prepare Croissants with Smoked Salmon?

 


Preparation: 

Preparation time: 10 mins

Cooking time: 20 mins

Serving: 4

 

Ingredients:

  • 4 large fresh croissants
  • 8 4/5 ounces Italian mascarpone (about 1 cup)
  • 1½ tablespoons whole milk
  • 1½ tablespoons minced fresh chives
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1½ tablespoons capers in brine, drained
  • 1/2 pound thinly sliced smoked salmon, preferably Scottish
  • Very thinly sliced red onion (optional)
  • 3 cups baby arugula 中文 (2-3 ounces)

 

Instructions:

1.     Preheat the oven to 350 F.

 

2.     Place the croissants on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Bake for 8 minutes, until heated through. Set aside for 5 minutes to cool slightly.

 

3.     Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the mascarpone, milk, chives, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.

 

4.     Slice each croissant in half horizontally with a serrated knife. Spread the bottom halves with the mascarpone mixture, then sprinkle evenly with the capers and lay the salmon evenly on top. Place a few slices of red onion on top, if using. Top with a generous handful of arugula 中文 and replace the tops of the croissants, browned side up. Serve while the croissants are still slightly warm.
