A puff pastry smoked salmon tart capturing all of the classic flavors of an NYC-style everything bagel with cream cheese and lox.

Ingredients

Scale

Pastry Base:

1 sheet puff pastry, thawed according to package directions if frozen
1 egg, lightly beaten
40 grams everything bagel seasoning, store-bought or homemade (1/4 cup), plus more for sprinkling

Cream Cheese Layer:

226 grams cream cheese, softened (8-ounce package)
60 grams mayonnaise (1/4 cup)
15 milliliters lemon juice (1 tablespoon)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
Salt and pepper, to taste

Toppings:

113 grams smoked salmon (4-ounce package)
20 grams capers, drained (2 tablespoons)
1/2 red onion, peeled and sliced into thin rings

Chopped fresh dill, to garnish


Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400° F / 205° C. Line a half-sheet rimmed baking tray with parchment or a silicone baking mat.

On a silicone rolling mat or lightly floured work surface, unroll puff pastry and trim to approximately 10 x 14 inches. (If your pastry sheet is a square instead of a rectangle, use a rolling pin to roll it a few inches longer.)

With a pastry brush, lightly egg wash the entire surface of the pastry. Scatter generously with everything bagel seasoning.

Flip onto prepared tray, seasoning side down. Prick the top with a fork or docking tool. With a pastry brush, apply a strip of egg wash around the outside edge.

Fold edges over, creating a 1/2-inch border. Brush with additional egg wash. Sprinkle folded edge with more everything bagel seasoning.

Bake in preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until flaky and golden brown. Set aside to cool while you prepare the cream cheese layer.

In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, and lemon juice. With a hand mixer, mix on high speed until smooth and creamy, about 1 minute. Mix in the chopped dill. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

With a small stepped palette knife, spread cream cheese mixture over cooled pastry, allowing a 1/2-inch border around outer edge.

This puff pastry smoked salmon tart tastes best on the day it is made. Wrap leftovers in foil and store in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Eat cold.

 

Notes

Use a pastry brush to clear the tray of any loose seeds or bits of everything bagel seasoning; otherwise, these will burn as the pastry bakes.
