Ingredients

• 2 sheets puff pastry sheets
• 150 grams smoked salmon
• 120 grams cream cheese
• 60 grams sour cream
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill
• 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
• 1 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon water

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Thaw the puff pastry sheets according to the package instructions, ensuring they are pliable but still cold.

Step 3

Using a 6-8cm (2.5-3 inch) round cookie cutter, cut out 12 circles from the puff pastry sheets. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 4

Use a smaller round cutter (or a knife) to lightly score a circle about 1 cm (0.5 inch) from the edges of each pastry round to create a border. Be careful not to cut all the way through.

Step 5

In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, lemon juice, finely chopped fresh dill, garlic powder, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Step 6

Chop the smoked salmon into small bite-sized pieces and gently fold them into the cream cheese mixture.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the border of each puff pastry round with the egg wash.

Step 8

Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the salmon and cream cheese filling into the center of each pastry round, staying inside the scored border.

Step 9

Bake the tartlets in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed up.

Step 10

Remove the tartlets from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before serving.

Step 11

Garnish each tartlet with a sprig of fresh dill before serving, if desired. Serve warm or at room temperature.
