Recipe
Cream cheese and tomato finger sandwiches
- healthier to eat wholemeal bread
- should be soft but not too fresh so easier to swallow
- cut off the crusts if too hard

1 ripe tomato
5 stems of fresh chives
2 slices wholemeal bread
1.5 tsp light cream cheese

pinch of salt
pinch of pepper

serves 2 persons

Method:
1. Put the tomato in boiling water for 15 sec. Rinse under the cold tap and remove the skin. Scoop out the pips, then halve the tomato and cut the flesh into strips.
2. Chop the chives very finely.
3. Cut the crusts off the bread if they are too hard.
4. Spread the slices of bread with the cream cheese.
5. Put the tomato strips on one slice of bread. Sprinkle with the chives and season with a pinch each of salt and pepper.
6. Place the other slice of bread cheese-side down on the tomato. Cut the sandwich into fingers and put them on 2 small plates.

Tip:
The tomato may be replaced by avocado or banana. If banana is used, leave out the chives, salt and pepper.
