My cookbooks are like my old friends. My regular books are too, but my cookbooks even more so. I flip through them when I need something to occupy me, but not be too intense. Each has a story, each has memories and each continues to reveal secrets even after years. I love my cookbooks 🙂

In an attempt to satisfy our craving for bagels with lox and cream cheese, we came up with this quick appetizer of flatbread topped with chive crème fraîche and cold-smoked salmon.
What to buy: Crème fraîche is a naturally thickened fresh cream with a tangy flavor and a rich texture. If you can’t find it, sour cream is a decent substitute.
Game plan: The crème fraîche mixture can be made up to 1 day in advance and refrigerated in a covered container.
This recipe was featured as part of our Valentine’s Day Menu.
INGREDIENTS
* 1/2 cup crème fraîche
* 1 tablespoon fresh chives, minced
* 1 1/2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
* 2 (11-inch) premade pizza crusts or flatbreads, such as Boboli, baked and cooled
* 2/3 cup thinly sliced red onion
* 8 ounces cold-smoked salmon, thinly sliced
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Combine crème fraîche, chives, and lemon juice in a nonreactive bowl and mix until thoroughly incorporated. Season well with salt.
2. Spread 1/2 of the crème fraîche mixture evenly on top of each flatbread, leaving a 1/2-inch border.
3. Arrange 1/2 of the onion on 1 flatbread, top with 1/2 of the salmon, and season with freshly ground black pepper. Repeat with second flatbread. Cut into 2-by-2-inch squares and serve.
