Ingredients for Puff Pastry Sandwiches with Salmon

- 2.8 oz smoked salmon
- 4.2 oz fresh spreadable cheese
- 1 tbsp dill
- 1 tbsp dried parsley
- 1 egg
- 2 tbsps sesame seeds
Preparation of Puff Pastry Sandwiches with Salmon
Place the roll of puff pastry on the work surface and fold it over itself. Roll the pastry slightly with a rolling pin and cut out six discs of 3 inches in diameter. Repeat this process with the second rectangle of puff pastry. You should obtain a total of 12 discs.
Place the pastry discs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and brush the surface with the lightly beaten egg. Decorate with sesame seeds.
Bake in a preheated oven at 392°F for 15 minutes. Remove the puff pastry sandwiches from the oven and let them cool slightly.
In a bowl, work the spreadable cheese with dill and parsley, making it very creamy.
Then, gently cut the sandwiches, fill them with the mixture and add some slices of salmon.
Storage
The puff pastry sandwiches with salmon can be stored in the refrigerator for 1–2 days, closed in an airtight container. Before serving them, you can leave them at room temperature for about ten minutes, or slightly warm them in a static oven at 320°F for a few minutes, to restore the puff pastry’s crispness.

FAQ
Can I prepare the puff pastry sandwiches with salmon in advance?
Yes, you can prepare them a few hours in advance and store them in the refrigerator. However, I recommend filling them just before serving, to keep the pastry more crisp.
Can I replace the smoked salmon?
Of course, you can use seared fresh salmon, or for a vegetarian version, grilled zucchini or sautéed spinach.
Which spreadable cheese is best recommended?
The classic spreadable cheese is perfect, but you can also use robiola or fresh goat cheese for a stronger flavor.
Can I flavor the cheese differently?
Absolutely yes. Besides dill and parsley, you can add chives, grated lemon zest, or a pinch of pink peppercorn for a more fragrant note.
