New Year's: Smoked Salmon Spread

Source of Recipe

From "The Silver Palate Good Times Cookbook"


Recipe Introduction

"This spread is perfect brunch fare on black bread or bagels. Or hollow out a thin loaf of French bread, fill it with the mixture, and slice it for an hors d'oeuvre."

List of Ingredients

• 8 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
• ¼ cup heavy or whipping cream
• 1 scallion (green onion, white part and 3 inches green), thinly sliced
• 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
• Dash Tabasco sauce
• 4 ounces smoked salmon, gently shredded
• 2 Tbsp red salmon caviar


Recipe

Gently mix the cream cheese and cream in a mixing bowl.
Stir in the scallion, lemon juice, and Tabasco sauce. Gently fold in the smoked salmon and caviar until well combined, but do not overmix. The shreds of salmon and the caviar should remain whole.

Makes 2 cups.
