Method
 

Instructions
  1. Combine hard-boiled eggs, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, turmeric, granulated garlic, salt, and black pepper in a blender. Blend on high until smooth; about 2–3 minutes. Gradually add warm water for desired consistency. Transfer to a piping bag and refrigerate for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C). Slice the baguette diagonally into ½-inch thick pieces, arrange on a baking sheet, and brush tops lightly with olive oil. Toast for 5–7 minutes or until golden and crisp.
  3. Once toasted, cool slightly and rub the cut side of a fresh garlic clove on each piece of crostini.
  4. Pipe the chilled egg-cheddar mousse onto each crostini, covering the bread fully.
  5. Roll thin slices of smoked salmon into rose shapes and place one on top of each crostini.
  6. Garnish with fresh dill and black sesame seeds. Serve immediately for the best texture.
