Pressed Smoked Salmon Mousse Appetizer Recipes

Ingredients

• 50 cherry tomatoes
• 1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
• 2 ounces smoked salmon, finely chopped
• 2 1/2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 3 drops lemon juice
• ground black pepper to taste

Directions

1. Rinse and dry the tomatoes, and cut a thin slice off the top and bottom of each tomato with a serrated knife. Scoop out the pulp and seeds, and place the tomatoes on a platter lined with paper towels to drain. Refrigerate until needed.
2. Combine the softened cream cheese, smoked salmon, cream, lemon juice, and black pepper, and beat with a hand mixer until filling is soft and well-blended. Scoop the mixture into the barrel of a cookie press or into a pastry bag fitted with a star tip. Squeeze a small amount of the salmon filling into each cherry tomato.
