Steps:
- For the herb butter, combine all the butter ingredients in a mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. Beat until mixed, but do not whip.
- For the sandwiches, have the store slice the bread lengthwise on a meat slicer into 1/4-inch-thick slices. (If that isn't possible, you can slice it crosswise with a very sharp knife.)
- Lay out 8 slices of bread and spread them all with a thin layer of herb butter. Place smoked salmon on 4 of the slices. Top with the other 4 slices of bread, butter side down. Place the sandwiches on a baking sheet and wrap with plastic. Refrigerate until the butter is very cold. Place the sandwiches on a cutting board. With a very sharp knife, cut off the crusts, cut each large sandwich in half crosswise, and then cut each half diagonally twice to make a total of 8 small triangles. (If the bread was cut crosswise, follow the assembly directions, then cut off the crusts and cut diagonally, twice, to make 4 small triangles.) Serve chilled.

Steps:
- Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Place over high heat and bring to a boil. Boil the eggs for exactly 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and let sit 10 more minute before draining. Run under cold water and peel the eggs immediately - the shell will come off much more easily while the eggs are still wet and warm.
- Using a box grater, grate the eggs on the shredder side into a bowl. Add the salmon, dill, capers, 1/4 cup of the mayonnaise, salt and pepper. Mix well.
- Lay out 7 slices of the bread and spread 1/4 cup of the egg salad onto each slice. Cover with the remaining bread slices. Trim the crust off of all the sandwiches and cut each sandwich crosswise into four triangles.
- Spread the long side of each triangle with a little mayonnaise and dip each one into the chopped chives. Arrange decoratively on a platter.

Tips:
- Choose high-quality ingredients. Fresh, high-quality ingredients will make a big difference in the flavor of your tea sandwiches. Look for smoked salmon that is firm and has a delicate, smoky flavor. Use fresh, soft bread that will hold up well when filled.
- Keep your ingredients cold. Smoked salmon and other perishable ingredients should be kept cold until you're ready to use them. This will help to prevent them from spoiling and keep your sandwiches fresh.
- Use a variety of toppings. There are many different toppings that you can use to add flavor and texture to your tea sandwiches. Some popular choices include cream cheese, dill, capers, and lemon zest. Get creative and experiment with different combinations to find your favorites.
- Make your sandwiches ahead of time. Tea sandwiches can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. This makes them a great option for parties or other gatherings.
