This is a delicious dip/spread that is great on a bagel. Or, if you are hosting a brunch, you can serve it on mini bagels garnished with some cucumber slices. Of course, if you don't like or drink whiskey, you can substitute milk in its place. Ingredients:
8 ounces cream cheese, softened to room temperature |
2 1/2 tablespoons scotch whiskey or 2 1/2 tablespoons irish whiskey |
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice |
1/2 teaspoon prepared white horseradish |
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh dill, minced |
8 ounces smoked salmon, roughly chopped |
2 scallions, thinly sliced |
Directions:
1. In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese, whiskey, lemon juice, horseradish, and dill.
2. Beat until creamy and smooth.
3. Stir in salmon and scallions.
4. Transfer to a small serving bowl and cover.
5. Chill in the refrigerator for a minimum of 1 hour or as much as 48 hours.
6. Before serving, let stand at room temperature for a least 15 minutes to soften and become easily spreadable.
