Ingredients

Smoked salmon finger sandwiches
  • 3/4 cup (180g) crème fraîche
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped fresh chives
  • 2 shallots (50g), chopped finely
  • 18 slices white bread (660g)
  • 300 gram (9½ ounces) smoked salmon

Method

Smoked salmon finger sandwiches
  • 1
    Place crème fraîche, chives and shallots in asmall bowl; stir to combine. Season to taste.
  • 2
    Spread half the bread slices with crème fraîche mixture; top with salmon, then sandwich with remaining bread.
  • 3
    Using a sharp serrated knife (or electric knife), trim crusts; cut each sandwich into three long fingers. (The trick to tidy-looking sandwiches is to use a fast sawing action, without applying pressure to cut the sandwiches.)
  • 4
    Cover sandwiches with lightly dampened paper towel, then plastic wrap; store in the fridge until ready to serve.

Notes

Sandwiches can be made 3 hours ahead; store, covered, in the fridge. Bring to room temperature before serving.
