1. Using an 7.5cm (3 inch) plain cutter, cut a circle from each slice of bread. With a rolling pin, flatten each circle of bread then gently press into the sides and bases of 16 well greased patty tins. Brush with remaining butter and bake at 200°C (400°F) mark 6 for 15 minutes until golden and crispy. Leave to cool.
2. Mix all remaining ingredients, reserving a little chopped parsley for garnish.
