Savory smoked salmon and creamy cheese dip, perfect with bubbly cocktail to start off your dinner party in style.
Ingredients:
  • 4 eggs
  • 2 x 220g pkts smoked salmon
  • 2 x 250g pkts cream cheese, at room temperature
  • 125ml (1/2 cup) fresh lemon juice
  • 20.00 ml finely grated lemon rind
  • 40.00 ml coarsely chopped fresh dill
  • Salt & freshly ground black pepper
  • 37.60 gm sour cream
  • 40.00 ml salmon roe
  • 1 x 150g pkt wafer crackers, to serve
Instructions:
  • In a saucepan, gently nestle the eggs and cover them with cold water. Bring to a gentle boil over medium heat and cook for 8 minutes. Drain the eggs and allow them to cool.
  • In each 185ml (3/4-cup) timbale mould, elegantly layer 2 slices of smoked salmon. In a food processor, blend the cream cheese, lemon juice, lemon rind, and the rest of the salmon until velvety smooth.
  • Transfer the luscious cream-cheese mixture into a bowl, then gently incorporate the fragrant dill. Season generously with salt and pepper for a burst of flavor.
  • Peel and chop the eggs, then mix two-thirds of them into the cream-cheese mixture gently. Spoon the cream-cheese mixture into molds, pressing down firmly. Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the fridge for 2 hours.
  • Gently transfer the mousses onto plates. Add a dollop of sour cream and a spoonful of salmon roe on top. Finish with a sprinkle of the remaining egg and serve with wafers.
