Between tailgates and football games and the upcoming holidays, there are so many opportunities to spend time with my favorite people.

Can These Appetizers Be Made Ahead?

You can make the salmon bites and store them in the refrigerator for a few hours, but I wouldn't refrigerate them much longer to avoid soggy crackers. You can mix up the cheese spread a couple days in advance, though! Store it in an airtight container and give it another stir before spreading on the crackers.

Ingredients

Scale

5 oz garlic and herb Gournay cheese, such as Boursin
3 oz cream cheese (I use Neufchatel cheese)
2 tbsp milk
1 package crackers of choice, gluten-free if necessary
4 oz smoked salmon, cut into 1-inch pieces

Whisk together garlic and herb cheese, cream cheese and milk until smooth.
Spread about a half teaspoon of the cheese mixture onto each cracker. You may need more for larger crackers.

Any salmon bites that have been left at room temperature longer than 2 hours should be thrown out.
