Follow The Directions

01

Step

2 mins

Gently spread a thin, even layer of softened chive cream cheese on two slices of dark rye bread. (2 minutes)

02

Step

3 mins

Delicately arrange a small amount of thinly sliced smoked salmon over one slice of the cream cheese-covered bread. (3 minutes)

03

Step

1 mins

Carefully top the salmon-laden slice with the other cream cheese-covered slice, creating a sandwich. (1 minute)

04

Step

5 mins

Using a sharp serrated knife, meticulously trim off all four crusts from the sandwich, ensuring clean, even edges. (5 minutes)

05

Step

2 mins

With a steady hand, bisect the crustless sandwich diagonally, creating two elegant triangles. (2 minutes)

06

Step

15 mins

Repeat steps 1-5 with the remaining ingredients until all sandwiches are assembled. (15 minutes)

For an extra touch of elegance, garnish each sandwich triangle with a tiny sprig of fresh dill or a single chive.
To prevent the bread from drying out, assemble the sandwiches shortly before serving. If making ahead, wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for no more than a few hours.
Consider using a cookie cutter to create fun and festive shapes for your tea sandwiches.
