Layered Radish Finger Sandwiches Food

RADISH TEA SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Spoon 1 tablespoon cream cheese in center of each slice of bread, spreading to the top and bottom, leaving a 3/4-inch border on sides. Layer half of bread slices with radish slices, overlapping slightly.
• Sprinkle lightly with salt and pepper; top with lettuce and remaining bread slices (cream cheese side down) to make 4 sandwiches. With a serrated knife, trim off crusts; cut each sandwich in half. Serve.

ITALIAN CLUB FINGER SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Trim all crusts from bread. Spread 4 slices with herb soft cheese. Top each cheese covered slice with 2 slices each of prosciutto, 3 leaves of arugula, thinly sliced tomatoes seasoned with a pinch of salt. Place a completed layer a top another, making 2 stacks each 2 layers high. Set the final trimmed bread slices in place, making 2 triple-decker sandwiches. Thinly slice and salt the radishes. Pierce a couple of thin slices of radish on each toothpick as you place 4 toothpicks in each sandwich. Cut each sandwich into 4 equal parts, cutting the sandwich across evenly on each side. The yield will be 8 triple-decker, square-shaped, "club" finger sandwiches, 2 per portion.

CUCUMBER AND RADISH ENGLISH TEA SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Spread one side of each slice of bread with the herb cheese. Top half with the cucumber slices and the other half with the sliced radish. Season with salt and pepper, if desired. Flip each slice with the radishes over on top of the slices with the cucumbers.
• Trim the crust off each side of the sandwiches. Cut the sandwiches in half, and in half again, creating 4 pieces.
• Arrange on a platter individually or stack two pieces togethe and secure with a toothpick.

LAYERED RADISH FINGER SANDWICHES

Steps:

• In a small bowl cream the butter and stir in the anchovy paste, the scallions, and salt and pepper to taste. Spread one side of each of 3 slices of the bread with some of the scallion butter and top the buttered side of one of the slices with an overlapping layer of the radishes. Top the radishes with another slice of the buttered bread, buttered side down, and butter the top of the slice. Top the butter with an overlapping layer of the radishes and top the radishes with the remaining slice of the buttered bread, buttered side down. Press the sandwich together gently, trim the crusts, and cut the sandwich lengthwise into thirds. Make sandwiches with the remaining bread, butter, and radishes in the same manner. The sandwiches may be made 2 hours in advance and kept wrapped in plastic and chilled.

MINTED RADISH TEA SANDWICHES WITH LEMON MAYONNAISE

Steps:

• In a small bowl stir together mayonnaisse, sour cream, zest, mustard, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Spread bread generously with lemon mayonnaise. Top half of slices with a layer of mint and top mint with overlapping rows of radish. Top radish with remaining bread and press together gently. Trim crusts and cut sandwiches in half diagonally. Sandwiches may be made 2 hours ahead, wrapped in plastic wrap, and chilled.

RADISH TEA SANDWICHES WITH CREAMY DILL SPREAD

Steps:

• Mash cream cheese (or goat cheese), chopped dill, capers and 1/8 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl until well combined. Spread about 2 teaspoons of the mixture on each piece of bread. Top each with a few radish slices, a sprig of dill and a generous grinding of pepper.

ENGLISH TEA FINGER SANDWICHES (3 RECIPES!)

Steps:

• Prepare each sandwich filling by adding all the ingredients to separate bowls. (3 total) Mix each using a silicone spatula. (they work best!) Keep in mind that using room temperature butter and cream cheese will make mixing much easier!
• Once your 3 fillings are ready, set out your bread slices and start spreading your filling generously onto each side of your bread.
• *Note* I used a TOTAL of 18 slices of bread. I laid out 6 slices for EACH filling. This gave me 3 large sandwiches with EACH filling. (Total of 9.) I then cut each of the 9 finished sandwiches into TWO triangles giving me a total of 18 tea sandwiches triangles to serve or 6 each. If you want to QUARTER your tea sandwiches you can. You should then get twice the amount (36 total).
• Trim the ends of your cucumbers and then cut each into thirds (or half) depending how long your cucumbers are. (The idea is to cut them lengthwise first before you start slicing them down. We want about 4" chunks so that when we slice them, they fit nicely onto your bread. (See photos). Finally, you can slice each chunk into slices about 1/16" thick. Your yield will differ than mine depending upon the size of your cucumbers. Aim for about 4-5 slices per sandwich! (See photos for reference!)

RADISH SANDWICHES

Steps:

• For the filling, finely chop the radishes in the food processor (or hand grater). Place in a large sieve or colander. Press with paper towels to drain and squeeze out any excess liquid.
• Cream the cream cheese and butter together until fluffy (I used the food processor); add drained chopped radishes, parsley, chives, lemon juice, salt and pepper to taste, and cream again.
• Cut crusts from bread and cut into small squares or rounds. Spread with filling, and garnish with sliced or whole radishes coated with coarse salt.
• Chill thoroughly before serving.
