Why You'll Want This Again

This spread is rich and flavorful, combining the smoky taste of fish with smooth cream cheese. It’s easy to make and perfect for quick snacks or parties. The blend offers a nice balance of creamy and savory that everyone will enjoy.

Cooking Techniques

- Use fresh, high-quality smoked trout for the best flavor.
- Soften the cream cheese before mixing to ensure a smooth texture.
- Add a squeeze of lemon juice to brighten the flavors without overpowering them.

Directions

Crumbl the trout into a bowl, then add the softened cream cheese. Squeeze in some fresh lemon juice and toss in chopped dill, chives, and capers. Stir in a bit of horseradish, black pepper, salt, and just a pinch of cayenne to give it a little kick. Use a fork to mix everything together until it’s as chunky or smooth as you like. Once it’s well combined, transfer the spread to a small dish and cover it tightly with plastic wrap. Pop it in the fridge for a couple of hours to let all those flavors come together. When you’re ready, give it a quick stir and enjoy!

Serving Advice

Serve this spread on toasted baguette slices or crisp crackers for a delicious appetizer. It also works well as a sandwich filling or dolloped onto fresh vegetables for a light snack.

How To Save Leftovers

Keep the spread in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to three days. Stir gently before serving if it has separated slightly.

Really nice flavor, though I found it a little too rich for me. Next time I’ll cut down on cream cheese a bit.
