Preparation

Step 1
Put the cheese and creme fraiche into the container of a food processor or electric blender. Blend thoroughly. Scrape the mixture into a small bowl and add the walnuts. Blend well.
Step 2
Toast the bread on both sides.
Step 3
Spread one slice of toast with one-sixth of the cheese mixture. Top this with a second slice of toast and spread this with another sixth of the cheese mixture. Repeat with a third slice of toast and top with a final slice of toast. Press gently to make a sandwich. Prepare a second sandwich in the same manner as the first.
Step 4
Using a sharp knife with a serrated blade, carefully trim off and discard the crusts of each sandwich. Cut each of the trimmed sandwiches into four rectangles of equal size. Arrange on a platter and garnish with sprigs of chervil.
