Smoked Salmon Puff Pastry

PREP TIME: 10 MIN
COOK TIME: 15-20 MIN
TOTAL TIME: 35 MIN

Buttery, flaky puff pastry topped with cream cheese, smoked salmon, and a squeeze of lemon, simple, fresh, and a total showstopper. Perfect for breakfast or brunch.

Ingredients

• 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed (I love Schär or Dufour)

• 4 oz cream cheese (Ideally buy Whipped)

• 4–6 oz salmon

• 1–2 tbsp everything bagel seasoning

• 1–2 tbsp butter, melted (for brushing)

• 1 lemon, sliced or juiced

Instructions

• Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

• Roll out the puff pastry and place it on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly score a border around the edges (about ½ inch) to create a crust.

• Brush the edges with melted butter and sprinkle everything bagel seasoning over the entire surface.

• Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until golden and puffed. Let cool slightly.

• Spread the cream cheese evenly over the baked pastry.

• Layer the smoked salmon on top, followed by a squeeze of fresh lemon.

• Slice into squares and serve immediately.

Enjoy!
