RECIPE CHEESECAKE AL SALMONE
The cheesecake has now settled on our tables and with great ease, it approaches the most traditional recipes. What we propose today is a savory variant of the traditional sweet cheesecake, with salmon, ideal as an appetizer especially if you plan to organize a buffet at home with friends.
CHEESECAKE AL SALMONE
The preparation is very simple: be careful, however, to calculate the cooling times well. Let’s see together how to prepare:
INGREDIENTS (for 4 people)
-40 g of butter
-10 rusks
-50 gr of smoked salmon
-150 g of spreadable cheese (Philadelphia or robiola)
-3 tablespoons of yogurt
-1 untreated lemon (about half of the rind)
-1 cake mold for about 20 cm. in diameter or 8 single portions
-Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: ½ hour approx
Rest times: 20 minutes + 3 hours
PREPARATION
-Finely blend the butter in the mixer (removed from the fridge about ten minutes before) and the biscuits.
-Spread the mixture on the bottom of the cake mold, or divide it into single-portion containers, forming a well-compacted and leveling layer. Keep in the freezer.
-Mix together the cheese spread with egg, yogurt, and grated lemon rind.
-Chop the salmon very roughly and add it to the cheese.
-Turn on the oven at 180 degrees.
-Take the base from the freezer and spread the cream over it. In the case of single portions, fill the container.
-Bake for at least 20-25 minutes, the time needed for the egg to thicken and tie the whole.
-Remove from the oven, let cool a little, then put in the fridge: the cheesecake should be served cold.
-Just before serving to the table, decorated the surface with some salmon curl or, alternatively, a gentle “rain” of zest lemon or thyme leaves.
