Puff pastry bites with soft cheese and smoked salmon are pastry shells filled with a soft cream, ready in a few minutes and with no baking. Dill and little lime slices give them a fresh taste, and a 140 g tub makes enough for 8-10 bites. I choose a soft cheese that mixes easily and pipes through a nozzle without forcing it. Preparation: 10 minutes. Cooking: 0 minutes. Total time: 10 minutes. Servings: 4. Approximately 200 kcal and 5 g protein per serving.

Ingredients

  • 140 g Delaco soft cheese with salmon
  • 8-10 puff pastry bites
  • 5 g fresh dill
  • 1 lime

Preparation

1. Mix the 140 g of cheese until the cream is smooth and soft. 2. Put the cheese in a piping bag and fit a nozzle. 3. Fill 8-10 puff pastry bites one by one, almost to the edge. 4. Cut the lime into small slices and decorate with them and the 5 g of dill.

Notes

Small bites with narrow openings are harder to fill; choose whole pastry shells with an opening wide enough for the nozzle. If the cheese is firm, leave it on the counter for a few minutes before mixing so it goes into the piping bag easily. Fill the pastry close to serving time, since the moisture in the cream softens it if it sits. I serve them with thinly sliced cucumber; the shells contain gluten. You can replace the lime with 1/2 lemon cut into slices, and any leftover cream keeps covered in the fridge for up to 3 days.

Frequently asked questions

Can I replace the cheese with smoked salmon?

Yes. Mix 100 g plain cream cheese with 50 g finely chopped smoked salmon and use the mixture instead of the 140 g of cheese with salmon.

Can I fill them without a piping bag?

Yes, use a teaspoon and add about 1 tablespoon of cream to each bite.

What should I do if the cheese won’t go through the nozzle?

Choose a round nozzle with an opening of about 8 mm and mix the cream again until it softens.
