The secret to elegant, stress-free entertaining is with these make-ahead cocktail tempters.

400g fresh crabmeat
1/2 cup (150g) whole-egg mayonnaise
2 tablespoons creme fraiche or sour cream
Grated zest of 1/2 lemon
2 tablespoons chopped chives
24 slices white bread

Method

1.

Drain the crabmeat well, squeezing out any excess water. Place the crabmeat in a bowl with the mayonnaise, creme fraiche, lemon zest and chives. Season to taste with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, then stir to combine.
