Step-by-step
- To make the egg, caper mayo and cress sandwich
- Peel the eggs, mash them with a fork, then stir in all the other ingredients.
- Season with pepper only; the capers should make the mixture salty enough.

- To make the radish and anchovy butter sandwich
- Finely chop the anchovies and use a fork to mash them into the butter.
- Mix until well combined. Spread two pieces of bread with the butter then add a layer of radishes on each.
- Top with the remaining bread, remove the crusts and slice into fingers.
- To make the smoked salmon, cucumber and dill butter sandwich
- Mix the butter, dill and a few drops of lemon juice together
- Season the butter with black pepper and spread a layer over two slices of the bread.
- Top with a layer of cucumber followed by a layer of smoked salmon.
- Remove the crusts and slice into fingers.
