Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese
- 1 cup green olives with pimentos
- 0.5 teaspoons garlic powder
- 12 slices white sandwich bread
- 2 tablespoons softened unsalted butter
Instructions
1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, green olives (ensure they are finely chopped), and garlic powder. Mix until smooth and evenly combined.
2. Lay out the slices of white sandwich bread on a clean work surface.
3. Spread a thin layer of softened unsalted butter on one side of each slice of bread. This will help prevent the cream cheese mixture from soaking into the bread and keep the sandwiches fresh.
4. Spread an even layer of the cream cheese and olive mixture on the buttered side of 6 slices of bread.
5. Top each prepared slice with another slice of bread, buttered side down, to form a sandwich.
6. Using a sharp knife, gently trim off the crusts from each sandwich for a neat, uniform look.
7. Cut each sandwich into 4 small squares or triangles, depending on your preference.
8. Arrange the sandwiches on a serving platter and cover with a slightly damp paper towel to keep them fresh until serving.
9. Serve the Cream Cheese and Olive Party Sandwiches chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy!
