Smoked salmon pinwheels and prosciutto crostini
Description
To make the smoked salmon pinwheels and prosciutto crostini, baguette slices are brushed with olive oil and toasted under a broiler until lightly browned. The toasted bread is then spread with Boursin Garlic and Fine Herbs cheese, providing a creamy, flavorful base.
Smoked salmon slices are spread with a thin layer of Boursin, then rolled to form pinwheels. Additional Boursin-topped crostini are layered with slices of prosciutto. Halved cherry tomatoes and slices of red and green peppers along with sliced olives add freshness and color to the presentation.
The components are arranged to create an appealing star shape or any preferred pattern, making this a versatile appetizer platter. Quantities can be adjusted depending on the number of servings. The mixture of creamy cheese, smoky salmon, salty prosciutto, and crisp vegetables provides a balanced and visually attractive starter.

Instructions
- Cut some slices from the baguette and drizzle them with a little olive oil on one side, rub it in. Heat the broiler/grill and toast on the side with the oil until gently browned. Remove and set aside to cool.
- Take a few slice of smoked salmon and spread on a thin layer of Boursin Garlic and Fine Herbs Cheese. Cut thin slices and roll them up to form pinwheels.
- Spread some more Boursin on the toasted slices of bread and top each with a piece of prosciutto.
- Halve some tomatoes and cut slices from the red and green peppers.
- Arrange the smoked salmon pinwheels, crostini, pepper slices, tomato and olives to form a star, as I have in the photos, or any other arrangement as you prefer.
