Author: Christina Jolam | The Weekday Pescatarian
Fresh-baked flatbread, zesty lemon whipped cream cheese and a flurry of smoked salmon, veggies and fresh herbs. When it comes to brunch recipes, this Smoked Salmon Flatbread Breakfast Recipe is easy like a Sunday morning.
Ingredients:
- 1 pound pizza dough or flatbread,
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 6 ounces whipped cream cheese
- 3 tablespoons creme fraiche
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest
- 1/4 cup red onion, thin sliced
- 4 ounces Acme Smoked Salmon
- 4 eggs, medium boiled
- 1 small cucumber
- 3 tablespoons capers
- 2 tablespoons fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives
- Sea salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions:
- To begin, prepare the pizza/flatbread dough. Press the dough into a vaguely oblong shape on a sheet pan. Brush with olive oil and sprinkle lightly with coarse sea salt. Bake according to package instructions. Remove and allow the flatbread to cool a bit.
- Prepare the creamy lemon spread. Combine whipped cream cheese, creme fraiche and lemon zest in a small bowl. Stir well to combine. Season with a pinch of salt. Prepare the rest of the toppings by slicing the red onion, chives and dill, portioning the salmon and capers, and using a vegetable peeler to create thin ribbons of cucumber.
- Soft boil the eggs by bringing a small saucepan of water to boil. Carefully drop in the eggs and cook for 90 seconds. Remove from the heat, drain, rinse and shell.
- When the flatbread has cooled enough to handle (and not melt the creamy topping), transfer to your serving platter. Spread the lemon cream cheese over the bread, using a spoon to distribute evenly. Next, add the smoked salmon, red onions, quartered eggs, capers, cucumber ribbons and fresh herbs. Sprinkle salt and pepper over the runny egg yolks
- Slice the smoked salmon flatbread and serve with lemon wedges for those who want a squeeze of lemon juice.
