As a Swede I love to use gravlax for this recipe rather than smoked salmon, but either works fine. This is a crispy, delicious version of a bagel with cream cheese. All the goodness with a small fraction of the bread. We start with a ricotta cheese spread on the lavash that we bake until crispy, then it is topped with the salmon, onions, capers, and olives.
Note: We make our own gravlax, but it can be purchased from gourmet stores, Whole Foods, or online shops. I recommend the gravlax from igourmet.com.
6-8 servings
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Combine the crème fraîche, ricotta, and eggs in a medium bowl and stir until fully mixed.
- Spread two tablespoons of the cheese spread on each pieces of lavash.
- Bake for 5-8 minutes or until the lavash is starting to brown and crisp on the edges. Remove from oven and top with salmon, capers, onions, and arugula. Cut into squares for serving.
