Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons Red bell pepper, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons Carrot, finely grated
- 1 tablespoon Green onion, finely chopped
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, finely shredded
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 slices White bread or whole grain bread
Instructions
Place the softened cream cheese and mayonnaise in a mixing bowl. Use a spatula or hand mixer to blend them together until smooth and creamy.
Gently fold in the finely diced red bell pepper, grated carrot, chopped green onion, chopped parsley, and shredded cheddar cheese until evenly distributed.
Season the mixture with salt and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Lay the slices of bread on a flat surface. Spread a generous layer of the Confetti Tea Sandwich Spread onto half of the slices.
Top each spread-covered slice with the remaining slices of bread to form sandwiches.
Using a sharp knife, trim the crusts from the sandwiches for a clean edge, if desired.
Cut the sandwiches into small, even squares, triangles, or other shapes suitable for serving as tea sandwiches.
Serve immediately or cover tightly and refrigerate until ready to serve. Best served chilled.
