Ingredients
- 1 loaf Loaf of sandwich bread (unsliced)
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 0.5 cup Mayonnaise
- 1 cup Cooked chicken breast (shredded)
- 0.5 cup Cranberry sauce
- 1 whole Cucumber (thinly sliced)
- 4 slices Smoked ham (thinly sliced)
- 4 leaves Lettuce leaves
- 2 tbsp Butter (softened)
- 2 tbsp Chives (chopped)
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley or dill (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Using a sharp serrated knife, trim the crusts off the loaf of bread and cut it horizontally into four equal layers.
In a mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, mayonnaise, chives, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and spreadable.
Place the bottom layer of bread on a serving plate. Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture over it.
Layer the shredded chicken and cranberry sauce evenly on top of the cream cheese spread.
Add the second layer of bread on top of the chicken and cranberry mixture. Spread another thin layer of the cream cheese mixture.
Arrange cucumber slices evenly across the cream cheese layer. Add the third layer of bread.
Spread another thin layer of cream cheese mixture over the third layer of bread. Top with smoked ham slices and lettuce leaves.
Place the final layer of bread on top. Gently press the torte to ensure layers adhere together.
Frost the entire outside of the bread torte with the remaining cream cheese mixture, sealing all edges smoothly.
Garnish the top of the torte with fresh parsley or dill, if desired.
Chill the torte in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour to set before slicing and serving.
Slice into wedges or squares for serving. Enjoy your elegant Luncheon Sandwich Torte!
