How To Prepare Croissants with Smoked Salmon?

Preparation:

Preparation time: 10 mins Cooking time: 20 mins Serving: 4

Ingredients:

• 4 large fresh croissants • 8 4/5 ounces Italian mascarpone (about 1 cup) • 1½ tablespoons whole milk • 1½ tablespoons minced fresh chives • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper • 1½ tablespoons capers in brine, drained • 1/2 pound thinly sliced smoked salmon, preferably Scottish • Very thinly sliced red onion (optional) • 3 cups baby arugula 中文 (2-3 ounces)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 F. 2. Place the croissants on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Bake for 8 minutes, until heated through. Set aside for 5 minutes to cool slightly. 3. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the mascarpone, milk, chives, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. 4. Slice each croissant in half horizontally with a serrated knife. Spread the bottom halves with the mascarpone mixture, then sprinkle evenly with the capers and lay the salmon evenly on top. Place a few slices of red onion on top, if using. Top with a generous handful of arugula 中文 and replace the tops of the croissants, browned side up. Serve while the croissants are still slightly warm.
