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 (2-3 ounces)
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 F.
- 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.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine the mascarpone, milk, chives, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper.
- 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 and replace the tops of the croissants, browned side up. Serve while the croissants are still slightly warm.
