Smoked Trout schmear - Because there's No Way to Say Cool, "Spread"

Smoked Trout schmear - Because there's No Way to Say Cool, "Spread" -
schmear, "on the other, is impossible to say without having cool. Just try it. you also have to love a recipe whose name describes what you're supposed to do with it. you make a schmear, and then you schmear a schmear.

names aside, the smoked trout schmear is incredibly easy, and very versatile. obviously, it splits on any type of bread or crackers, but slathered atop a freshly toasted bagel may be its best expression.

Moreover, this is one of those recipes were you almost to ignore the measures exact ingredients that I give below, for the right amount of salt, acidity and heat are very subjective. Equal proportions of cream cheese and smoked trout is a good starting point, but everything else should be added "to taste."

smoked trout is relatively easy to find in one your fancy grocery stores that sell smoked salmon, and unlike its more common cousin, I think it has a rich flavor, more interesting, especially in this kind of differences. I really hope you give this a try soon. Have fun!
