Cooking Steps
- Cut baguette into 1/2-inch slices.
- Roughly chop dill.
- Halve, peel, then thinly slice shallots.
- Zest, then juice half the lemon. (NOTE: Use remaining lemon for a future creation!)
- Add shallots, vinegar, 2 tbsp water and 2 tsp sugar to a small pot. Season with 1/4 tsp salt. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring often, until sugar dissolves, 1-2 min.
- Remove the pot from heat. Transfer shallots, including pickling liquid, to a medium bowl. Place in the fridge to cool, 15 min.
- Add baguette slices to an unlined baking sheet. Drizzle with 2 tbsp oil. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to coat.
- Broil baguette slices in the middle of the oven until golden-brown and crisp, 3-5 min. (TIP: Keep an eye on them so they don't burn!)
- Add softened cream cheese, lemon zest, 2 tsp lemon juice and 2 tsp dill to another medium bowl. Season with salt and pepper, then, using a spatula or wooden spoon, beat until smooth and slightly fluffy, 1 min.
- When crostini are done, remove from the oven and transfer to a serving platter or large plate to cool slightly, 5 min.
- Spread cream cheese mixture evenly over crostini. Roughly tear smoked salmon into pieces, then divide over crostini.
- Divide pickled shallots between crostini, then sprinkle dill over top.
