Ingredients

• 1 loaf Baguette
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 Garlic cloves
• 200 grams Smoked salmon
• 1 Roasted red capsicum
• 10 Kalamata olives
• 100 grams Cream cheese
• 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
• 2 sprigs Fresh dill
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F).

Step 2

Slice the baguette into 1 cm-thick slices, yielding approximately 16 pieces.

Step 3

Arrange the baguette slices on a baking tray and brush each side lightly with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

Step 4

Toast the baguette slices in the oven for 7-8 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and crispy. Remove and set aside to cool slightly.

Step 5

Peel and very finely mince the garlic cloves. In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic with the cream cheese, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and set aside.

Step 6

Chop the roasted red capsicum into thin strips and slice the Kalamata olives into halves.

Step 7

Spread a thin layer of the prepared cream cheese mixture onto each toasted baguette slice.

Step 8

Top the cream cheese layer with a strip or two of roasted capsicum, a slice of smoked salmon, and a few olive halves.

Step 9

Garnish each bruschetta with a small sprig of fresh dill.

Step 10

Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over the prepared bruschetta and serve immediately.
