blinis (you can easily make your own, but they have super tasty ones at the migros)

smoked salmon (be sure to check out it is environmental friendly)

honey

1 pot of sour cream or yoghurt

parsley to decorate

Preparation:

  1. Preheat your oven at 220°, open your pastry and cut it into equal squares, you should have about 12 of them

  4. finally add the thyme branches nicely across each square.
