  1. I couldn’t wait to try this after my event with my smoked salmon as I knew that there would be leftovers, well, I hoped that there would be leftovers! There was just enough for me to share with my friend. I made this the next evening for a dinner party and, WOW, it was a hit! Everything that you want in that one perfect bite presented beautifully on a platter! My guest asked if I could make one for her for an event that she is having next month. I also used it for breakfast the next morning on a bagel. It’s a keeper and my new favorite go to for catering events!
