Ingredients:
20 sheets Phyllo dough
125 ml butter
250 ml sour cream
60 ml parsley
60 ml tarragon
60 ml chervil
60 ml chives
1 pinch cayenne pepper
salt and pepper (to taste)
125 ml cream (35%)
15 ml lemon juice
2 ml mustard
250 g tuna

Optionals:
Cut flowers of your choice
Methods:
Cut a sheet of phyllo dough in four equal sections. Brush the sections with melted butter, and stack them so that the corners are all flush.
Cut out an 8-cm diameter circle from the stack. Repeat the above process for each sheet of dough.
Place the dough circles on a cooking tray, and cook in the oven at 3500F for ten to fifteen minutes. Let stand and cool to room temperature.
Mix the sour cream and herbs in a bowl, season and refrigerate the mixture.
Prepare the sauce by blending lemon juice, mustard and 35% cream in a bowl; season and refrigerate.
To make a mille-feuilles, place a phyllo dough circle on a surface and spread it with the sour cream-and-herbs mixture. Cover with slices of salmon and tuna, and then another circle of dough. Repeat twice.
On a plate, surround the mille-feuilles with the prepared sauce, and decorate with herbs and flowers of your choice.
