Ingredients

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

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.

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