CHRISTMAS BAGEL BITES WITH LEEK SPREAD AND SMOKED SALMON
A recipe from Ricardo that I tried yesterday. It doesn't have to be Christmas to try this ;) I didn't have bagels, so I used slices of baguette that I toasted in the oven. It was a bit hard to bite. Today with the leftover of the salmon and spread, I used Melba toast. It was even better.

Steps:
- With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 180 °C (350 °F). 
.
- Leek spread: In a skillet, soften the leek in the butter. Add the wine and reduce until almost dry. Season with salt and pepper. Let cool.
- In a bowl, combine the cooled leek mixture and cream cheese. Set aside. 
.
- Bites : Place the bagel slices on a baking sheet. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Let cool.
- With an espresso teaspoon or a pastry bag fitted with a small plain tip, top each slice of bagel with about 5 ml (1 teaspoon) of leek spread. Garnish with smoked salmon. Season with pepper. If desired, garnish with capers and dill sprigs.
- Tips : All the steps can be prepared in advance, even the day before. Assemble at the last minute or up to 30 minutes before serving, to avoid softening the bagel crackers.

[email protected]The bagel bites were a bit dry, but they were still tasty. I think I would add a little more cream cheese to the leek spread next time.

[email protected]These bagel bites were a little too salty for my taste. I think I would use less smoked salmon next time.

[email protected]I love the combination of flavors in this dish. The leek spread is earthy and savory, while the smoked salmon is briny and salty. The bagel bites are the perfect vehicle for these two flavors.
