Cinnamon Apple And Havarti Tea Sandwiches Recipes

PROSCIUTTO, HAVARTI AND APPLE SANDWICH

Steps:

• Split ciabatta, and place one slice of cheese on one half. Top with prosciutto, followed by apple slices, the second slice of cheese and the other half of the bread.
• Melt butter in a 9-inch skillet over medium-high heat. When it froths vigorously, transfer sandwich to skillet. Place a grill press or a cast iron skillet on top of sandwich, and apply gentle pressure for about 2 1/2 minutes. With a spatula, carefully flip sandwich, replace grill press, apply pressure and grill 2 minutes more. Let cool. Place in sandwich bag, and store in refrigerator.

TURKEY TEA SANDWICHES

Steps:

• For the scallion cream cheese, combine the cream cheese, scallions and the salt and pepper in an electric mixer fitted with a paddle attachment. 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 scallion cream cheese. Place a single layer of turkey on half the slices, cutting the edges to fit the bread. Place the basil leaves randomly on top of the turkey. Top with the other 4 slices of bread, cream cheese side down. Lay the sandwiches on a baking sheet covered with parchment paper, cover with damp paper towels and wrap the sheet with plastic. Refrigerate until the cream cheese is cold and firm. Place the sandwiches on a cutting board and, 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.

CINNAMON APPLE SPREAD FOR TEA SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Combine cream cheese, brown sugar and vanilla; beat at medium speed with an electric mixer about a minute or until smooth; set aside.
• Cut each bread slice into a 3-inch round, or if it's large enough, two rounds at least 2 inches. Use a fruit glass to help.
• Core apples and cut into seven slices, and brush with orange juice.
• Spread about a tablespoon of cheese mixture onto each bread round; top with an apple slice.
• Sprinkle peanuts in center.
