Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 227 grams Cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger (grated)
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 1 tablespoon Fresh cilantro (chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper (ground)
- 8 slices Whole-grain sandwich bread
- 2 tablespoons Butter (softened)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, grated fresh ginger, honey, chopped cilantro, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
Lay out the slices of whole-grain sandwich bread on a clean surface. Lightly butter one side of each slice using the softened butter.
Spread a generous layer of the gingered cream cheese mixture on the unbuttered side of 4 slices of bread. Use a butter knife or a small spatula for an even application.
Top the cream cheese-covered slices with the remaining 4 slices of bread, buttered side facing out, to form sandwiches.
Trim the crusts (optional) for a more refined presentation, especially if serving as tea sandwiches.
Cut each sandwich into halves or quarters, depending on preference, and serve immediately. Enjoy!
