Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier filling, consider using mascarpone cheese instead of cream cheese. If horseradish is too strong for your taste, you can reduce the amount or substitute with a milder sauce. To enhance flavor, add chopped fresh chives or dill to the mixture. This recipe is versatile; try it with other dried meats or even smoked salmon for a unique twist that complements American recipes.
