Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices soft sandwich bread (white or whole wheat)
- 4 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon plain Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh dill, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon fresh chives, finely chopped
- 1 honeycrisp or granny smith apple, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons butter, softened
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese and Greek yogurt until smooth and creamy.
Stir in the chopped parsley, dill, and chives. Add salt and ground black pepper to taste. Set aside the herb spread.
Thinly slice the apple and toss the slices with lemon juice to prevent browning.
Lightly butter one side of each slice of sandwich bread.
Spread a thin layer of the herb cream cheese mixture over four of the buttered bread slices.
Place an even layer of apple slices over the herb spread. Be sure the apple slices are close together to create a consistent texture with every bite.
Top the apples with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side facing inward, and press gently to adhere.
Using a sharp knife, trim off the crusts from each sandwich, then slice each sandwich into two rectangles or four small triangles, depending on your preference.
Serve immediately or cover with a damp paper towel and plastic wrap to keep fresh until serving.
