Servings 18 small finger sandwiches

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz smoked salmon 200 grams
  • 8 oz cream cheese 200 grams
  • 1/2 cup sour cream 75 grams
  • 2 Tbs chopped dill or 2 tsp dried dill
  • 2 Tbs chopped chives or 2 tsp dried chives
  • 1 lemon
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Beat together the cream cheese and sour cream.
  • Chop up the dill and chives.
  • Stir in the chives and dill into the cream cheese mixture.
  • Stir in the chives and dill into the cream cheese mixture.
  • Add pepper to taste.
  • Spread cream cheese mixture on each slice of bread. If you like it creamier, you can spread on a thicker layer, otherwise, a thin layer is fine.
  • Cover one side with thin slices of smoked salmon.
  • Squeeze a few drops of lemon onto the smoked salmon - this step if optional. I love the lemony taste, but it is totally fine to skip this if you are in a rush or don't have a fresh lemon.
  • Cover the other with thin slices of cucumber - if using. You can omit the cucumbers if you prefer.
  • Put the two slices of bread together and cut off the edges with a sharp serrated knife.
  • Cut the remaining square into three equal slices. This will give you three finger sandwiches. Or you can cut the square diagonally to create four triangle shaped sandwiches.
