Tea Party Sandwiches Puerto Rican Version Recipes

Steps:

• Cut breads into shapes with 2- to 3-inch cookie cutters (or remove crusts from breads and cut each slice into triangles or squares).
• Spread butter over white bread shapes; top each with cucumber. In small bowl, mix cream cheese and watercress until well blended. Spread over pumpernickel bread shapes. In another small bowl, mix ham, parsley, mayonnaise and mustard until well blended. Spread over whole wheat bread shapes.
• Arrange sandwiches on serving platter. Garnish with edible flowers, fresh dill weed or radish slices. Store in refrigerator.

Steps:

• Place luncheon meat cubes, processed cheese sauce, pimientos, and sandwich spread in a blender; pulse to blend into a smooth mixture, stopping often to scrape down blender sides. Transfer spread to a bowl.
• Spread the mixture onto 15 slices of white bread; top each with a slice of whole wheat bread. Press sandwiches together lightly and cut off crusts. Slice sandwiches in half diagonally to make triangles; sprinkle sandwiches with parsley flakes and top each sandwich half with a piece of sliced cucumber.
