Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Allow the cream cheese to soften at room temperature for easier spreading.
- Mix the cream cheese with the minced garlic and the spice mix until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
- Halve the cherry tomatoes and place them in a medium bowl.
- Add the drained capers, prosciutto pieces, and arugula to the bowl with the tomatoes.
- Thinly slice the red onion and add it to the bowl.
- Drizzle the vinegar over the mixture and toss gently to combine and coat evenly.
- Choose your favorite bread (such as sourdough, whole-grain, or baguette) and slice it if necessary.
- Toast the bread slices to your preferred level of crispness, either in a toaster or using a grill pan.
- Once the bread is toasted, spread a generous layer of the flavored cream cheese on each slice.
- Evenly distribute the prepared toppings over the cream cheese layer on each toast.
- Lay a few slices of smoked salmon on top of the prepared toast with toppings.
- Optionally, you can drizzle a little extra olive oil or sprinkle some freshly ground black pepper on top for additional flavor.
- Arrange the finished toast toppers on a serving platter or individual plates.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Tips:
- To ensure the best texture, bring the cream cheese to room temperature before spreading it on the toast.
- Lightly toast the bread before adding the toppings for an extra crunchy base.
- Finely chop the garlic and red onion to prevent overwhelming bites and to evenly distribute the flavors.
- If prosciutto is too salty for your taste, you can substitute it with a milder cured meat or even omit it altogether.
With a harmonious combination of colorful, fresh ingredients, Philly cream cheese toast toppers make for a deliciously sophisticated yet easy-to-prepare meal. This recipe provides a delightful balance of creamy, salty, and tangy elements that will surely impress your taste buds.
