Ingredients
Method
Tap a step once you've finished it.
- Cut the crusts off the bread slices and roll them thin with a rolling pin so they bend more easily.
- Mix the butter with the cream cheese, mustard and finely chopped herbs to make a tasty spread.
- Spread the slices thinly with the cream. Stack three slices of bread with ham between them. Spread the top with cream too.
- Wrap the finished sandwich block in cling film and chill for 30 minutes so it sets and is easier to cut.
- Cut with a sharp, serrated knife into small cubes or triangles. Before serving decorate with cornichons or radish and chives and serve as a cold platter.
