Smoked Salmon & Feta Cheese en Croute

I'm having a party in a couple of weeks and I'm serving all finger foods. I'll post a few of the recipes I'm using for the party. I made this one years ago as the first course for a New Year's Eve dinner. It was wonderful and elegant. I'm adapting it to make bite-sized portions this time.


3 oz Smoked salmon, diced
6 oz Cream cheese, softened
3 oz Feta cheese
1 ea Egg, slightly beaten
1 t Capers
2 T Finely chopped parsley
4 ea Scallions, topped, diced
1 T (or more) poppyseeds

You'll also need 1 frozen pastry sheet, cut into a 3" X 8" rectangle
and some melted butter. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. In a medium
bowl, hand mix the salmon, cream cheese, Feta cheese, egg, capers,
parsle, and scallions. Roll out the pastry sheet to double its size.
Liberally brush it with melted butter. Spread the salmon mixture
over the sheet. Roll up, jelly-roll style, folding the ends in to
seal. Brush the top of the roll with melted butter and sprinkle with
poppy seeds. Make 1/2 inch deep diagonal slashes across the roll to
allow steam to escape. Bake the roll for 20 to 30 minutes or until
golden. Serve warm.

Sounds great... but one question... what is a "caper" ?

See Google.

If you don't have capers, you can substitute seed pods from Nasturtium plants.

Dude, it's like a huge crime, like taking down Fort Knox and whatnot.

Chacun à son goût.

a caper is but a pickled pea
a scallion is kinda like a cross between a onion, and a garlic clove. a taste of a very mild and sweet garlic. use accordingly.
