This next recipe would make an awesome dinner party appetizer. Or even great for breakfast on a bagel {parents usually have this for breakfast}. It is jampacked full of flavor. I never thought I would enjoy smoked salmon or capers to say the least but I do love them both...and together over cream cheese is even better. There are a few more add-ons with this recipe. I highly recommend it, it's light, airy and healthy. So I wouldn't regret it if I scooped up more then 2...IF they're small. ;)
Bon Appetit!
