Directions
- Gather all your ingredients. Ensure the cream cheese is softened for easy mixing. Finely chop the red onion and chives, and zest the lemon.
- In a mixing bowl, add the garlic and herb cream cheese. Mix in the finely chopped red onion, chives, and lemon zest until well combined.
- Take your serving spoons and place a dollop of the cream cheese mixture at the bottom of each spoon. Gently press it down to create a small base.
- Cut the smoked salmon into bite-sized pieces or strips. Place a piece on top of the cream cheese in each spoon, allowing it to drape slightly for an elegant look.
- Finish each spoon by sprinkling a touch of freshly cracked black pepper on top. Arrange the spoons on a serving platter and garnish with additional chives or lemon slices if desired. Serve immediately!
Notes
- Use high-quality smoked salmon for the best flavor.
- Assemble the spoons just before serving to maintain freshness.
- Store leftover components separately for optimal freshness.
