Ingredients

  • 4 oz. (1 cup) shredded fresh Parmesan or Asiago cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon coarsely ground black pepper
  • 3 oz. lox (cold-smoked salmon)
  • 2 tablespoons crème fraîche or sour cream
  • Fresh dill sprigs

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 400°F. For each round, spoon 2 teaspoons cheese onto ungreased cookie sheet; pat into 2-inch round. Place rounds 2 inches apart. Sprinkle each with pepper.
  • 2
    Bake at 400°F. for 6 to 8 minutes or until edges are light golden brown. (Do not overbake.) Immediately remove from cookie sheet; place on wire racks. Cool 5 minutes or until completely cooled.

    To serve, top each round with lox, about 1/4 teaspoon crème fraîche and dill sprig. Serve immediately, or cover and refrigerate until serving time.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    Cheese rounds can be stored in a tightly covered container for up to 4 hours before serving.
  • tip 2
    Lox is salmon that is brine-cured, then cold-smoked. Crème fraîche is mature French cream. Crème fraîche is convenient and versatile; it can be boiled without curdling, which makes it easy to use in cooked recipes. Also, crème fraîche tastes simply wonderful spooned over fruit or warm chocolate cake.
