Salmon Cream Cheese Rolls



Inspired by Berry Simple

FOUR INGREDIENTS ONLY! How simple and delightful!!

as with all recipes with few ingredients- try to use the best you can afford.

i had 2 big loaves (around 20 slices each) of sliced bread, and used 400g cream cheese + 400g smoked salmon and a big bunch of chives.

method:

mix cheese + chopped chives together. Set aside.
Trim crusts off bread. Be ruthless...you don't want any hard bits, they make the rolling difficult.
Slather cream cheese on bread.
lay pieces of salmon and roll up.
Wrap with cling wrap tightly and chill in fridge for a couple of hours.
Slice each roll into thirds/ quarters just before serving.
Sit back and enjoy the accolades.

makes around 90 - 120 pieces...enough for a party of around 50.

Variations for next time? use seedy ie: linseed bread and add some paprika into the cream cheese mixture....or dill instead of chives...and maybe capers...!!
