This high-protein, carnivore-friendly appetizer combines crispy baked cheese with a rich, creamy salmon mousse. It’s perfect for entertaining, snacking, or as a nutrient-dense bite on a low-carb, high-fat diet.
Ingredients
For the Cheese Crisps:
- 4 oz cheese (sliced into small, even squares — cheddar, provolone, or mozzarella work great)
For the Salmon Mousse:
- 2 cans of salmon (drained)
- 1/2 cup full-fat Greek yogurt
- 4 green onions, chopped and divided
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1/2 tsp salt
Instructions
1. Make the Cheese Crisps
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Place the cheese slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each slice as they will spread.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the cheese turns crispy and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool completely — they will continue to firm up as they cool.
2. Make the Salmon Mousse
- In a food processor, combine:
- 2 cans of salmon,
- Greek yogurt,
- 8 oz cream cheese,
- 1 tsp lemon juice,
- 1/2 tsp salt,
- Half of the chopped green onions.
- Blend until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides as needed to ensure an even texture.
3. Assemble
- Once the cheese crisps are cooled, top each with a dollop of the salmon mousse using a spoon or piping bag.
- Sprinkle the remaining green onions over the top for a fresh, flavorful finish.
Serving Tips
- Serve chilled or at room temperature.
- Great as a party platter, post-workout snack, or quick lunch bite.
- Store extra mousse in the fridge for up to 3 days and crisps in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
