Ingredients

  • ounces cream cheese, room temperature
  • tablespoons finely chopped chives
  • 3-5 tablespoons milk
  • loaves bread, of your choice (see below)
  • Directions

    1. 1
      Mix the cheese with the chives and 3 tablespoons of milk until smooth. If this is too thick add more of the milk.
    2. 2
      Using a serrated knife, trim your bread. You can use a baguette and slice thinly, leaving the crust. Or use a hearty wheat, honey wheat or even oatmeal bread and remove the crust then cut into small squares.
    3. 3
      Spread the cream cheese over your bread piece, not quite to the edges. At this point you can place on baking sheets and chill for up to 6 hours, or use immediately.
    4. 4
      Pick your nasturtium blooms and gently rinse. Place one bloom on each piece of bread, or careful separate the petals and arrange in a design on top of the cream cheese.
    5. 5
      You can also add small herb leaves, such as thyme, oregano or chive stems to decorate.
    6. 6
      Serve your canapés on a pretty plate or platter lined with a paper doily. These are great for summer tea parties!
