Ingredients

For the Crostini

1 loaf Baguette, sliced Topped with garlic-infused olive oil
2 tablespoons Olive oil Garlic-infused for extra flavor
1 clove Garlic For flavoring the olive oil

For the Egg-Cheddar Mousse

3 large Eggs Whipped until smooth
1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded Adds rich flavor
2 tablespoons Fresh dill, chopped For a fresh herb flavor
1 tablespoon Lemon juice Adds brightness to the mousse

For Garnishing

1 cup Microgreens For garnish
8 ounces Smoked salmon Delicate and flavorful topping

For Pairing

1 bottle Sparkling wine or prosecco Recommended for pairing

Method

Preparation

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Brush baguette slices with garlic-infused olive oil and place them on a baking sheet.
Toast in the oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes.
In a bowl, whip together eggs, sharp cheddar, fresh dill, and lemon juice until smooth and creamy.

Assembly

Spread the egg-cheddar mousse over the toasted baguette slices.
Garnish with microgreens and slices of smoked salmon.
Serve chilled and pair with sparkling wine or prosecco.

Notes

For optimal freshness, assemble the crostinis just before serving. You can store assembled crostinis in the fridge for about 1 day. If making ahead, keep the salmon and mousse separate.
