Breakfast Crostinis with Salmon and Eggs



Ingredients:

1 baguette of your favorite crusty bread
8 eggs
2 TBS butter
1/4 cup half n half
1 pkg smoked salmon slices (small pkg - ready to eat)
pinch of dill
grape tomatoes - optional
Chive & Onion Cream Cheese
1 clove Garlic
olive oil
salt & pepper

Preheat oven to 375*.

Slice your bread (I like to do it on the diagnal) and place on a cookie sheet.
Drizzle each slice with olive oil (or you can use butter), lightly salt & pepper.  Do both sides!

Place bread slices in oven for a few minutes.  You just want them to crisp a bit, not be dark brown.

While bread is crisping, beat the eggs with the half n half and butter. Add pinch of dill, salt, pepper.  Cook this mixture over low heat, making a soft set scrambled egg.

When bread is crisped, remove it from the oven and rub each slice with a peeled garlic clove. (you will be amazed at the aroma that wafts up at you!)

Spread each bread with the Chive and Onion Cream cheese using as much or as little as you like.

Top with slices of Smoked Salmon, add spoons of scrambled eggs and top with halved grape tomatoes (if you are using them). 
Adding a small pinch of fresh dill or chive on top is nice too!

S/P if needed.


These, like most recipes I love to use, are easy to customize. Mix things up, use different herbs, maybe use a fresh squeeze of lemon on each one, try different cheeses, etc.
