Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Gather your ingredients and equipment.
Thaw the puff pastry sheets in the refrigerator until soft, then roll out to about 1/8 inch thickness and cut into 25 even squares.
Press each pastry square into the sections of your greased mini muffin tin to form cups.
In a mixing bowl, combine the whipped chive cream cheese, smoked salmon, and fresh dill until well blended.
Carefully fill each pastry cup with the cream cheese mixture, leaving a small border around the edges.
Bake for 12-15 minutes until the pastry is golden and puffed. Keep an eye on them towards the end.
Let cool for a few minutes before transferring to a serving platter, and garnish with extra dill.

Notes

Make sure to chill the pastry until baking to maintain flakiness and prevent sogginess. High-quality smoked salmon is essential for the best flavor.
