Smoked salmon canapés with whipped chive cream cheese

Recently a friend brought these canapes to a party, they were amazing and the plate was bare very quickly.

Ingredients:

• 170g room temperature cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons plain greek yoghurt
• 3 tablespoons chopped chives
• 170g smoked salmon
• 12 oat crackers
• Salt and fresh ground pepper
• chopped chives for garnish

Method:

In a medium bowl, beat the cream cheese and yoghurt until light and fluffy. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in the chopped chives.

Spread a teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture onto each slice of bread and then divide the salmon among them topping each with a sliver. Top each canapé with. Season with a little bit of salt and pepper. Garnish with the remaining chives. Serve immediately.

Note: The cream cheese mixture can be made up to 24 hours in advance and stored in an airtight container refrigerated.
