Smoked Salmon Tea Sandwiches

Yield: 3 full sandwiches or 6 open-faced sandwiches

What you need:

CookieCutterKingdom's 4-inch Seashell Cookie Cutter

Ingredients:

- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry (preferably all-butter), thawed according to manufacturer’s instructions

- 2 oz. cream cheese, slightly softened

- 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped + more for garnish, if desired

- ½ lemon, zested

- ¼ seedless cucumber, thinly sliced

- 3-6 slices of smoked salmon, depending on number of sandwiches

Directions:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit and line baking sheet with parchment paper.

Lightly flour a work surface and unfold thawed puff pastry on it. Use the seashell cookie cutter as a guide to make sure the puff pastry can fit six cutouts. If puff pastry is too small, use a rolling pin to gently roll out the dough to the correct size. 

Cut out six seashells from the puff pastry, pierce them all over with a fork, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. (Suggestion: brush scraps of puff pastry with egg wash and sprinkle with cinnamon-sugar or shredded cheese for a quick snack!) Freeze briefly, about 5 minutes, to firm the dough and help retain its shape while baking in the oven. Bake for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool on wire rack. 

In small bowl, combine cream cheese, dill, and lemon zest. Take one puff pastry seashell and spread dill-lemon cream cheese on top; layer with two sliced cucumbers and one slice of smoked salmon; garnish with dill if desired.

If making full sandwiches, repeat with half of seashells and top with remaining half. If making open-face sandwiches, repeat with remaining seashells.
 
Enjoy!
