Smoked Salmon Appetizer – an Easy Recipe for Entertaining!

If you follow Girl Heart Food, you know how I love easy recipes, especially bite-sized ones (I’m looking at you crostini). Today I mixed it up today using flatbread. A girl’s gotta have options, am I right??

Speaking of flatbread, you may remember a little while back I shared a bbq chicken flatbread pizza with you guys and I promised to share another flatbread recipe. Voilà, here it is! Like the pizza recipe, this appetizer is beyond easy, you guys!

With just a handful of simple ingredients, you could totally impress your guests and not spend, like, a bazillion hours in the kitchen. Make this flatbread recipe (even double it, if you need), get some vino chilled, and maybe some marinated olives and you are sitting pretty for one fuss free get-together.

How to Make this Easy Flatbread Recipe

All you have to do is –

Crisp up the flatbread in the oven
Spread with goat cheese
Top with remainder of ingredients
Dig in!
Easy, right?

Tips for this Smoked Salmon Appetizer

I cut the flatbread into pieces after it was topped with everything. However, if you prefer, you could cut into pieces and then top….do whatever is easiest for you.
Regular smoked salmon is what I used here. Want to switch things up? Maple glazed smoked salmon works wonderfully too. It’ll have the sweet/savoury combo goin’ on (which is awesome). If you want to make your own smoked salmon, check out a recipe from my friend, Kevin, of Kevin is Cooking.
Because the goat cheese can eventually make the flatbread soggy after a little bit, I wouldn’t prep these in advance. It’s best made and enjoyed right away. This flatbread takes so little time to assemble, that shouldn’t be a problem anyway.
You can use thinly sliced red onion in place of the chopped chives if you prefer.
Don’t have flatbread on hand? Toast up some small pieces of bread and use that instead!
