Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Sliced bread (white or whole wheat)
- 170 grams Cream cheese
- 24 pieces Pepperoni slices
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Butter (softened, optional for bread)
Instructions
Lay the slices of bread on a clean surface. If the bread crust is not desired, trim off the edges with a sharp knife to create clean, even slices.
Spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each slice of bread (optional for added moisture and flavor).
In a small mixing bowl, whip the cream cheese until it is smooth and easy to spread. If desired, stir in the chopped parsley for a touch of freshness.
Spread an even layer of cream cheese onto one side of each bread slice, covering it completely.
Place three slices of pepperoni on top of the cream cheese on half of the bread slices. Ensure the pepperoni slices are evenly spaced.
Take the remaining bread slices and press them on top of the pepperoni layers, cream-cheese-side down, to form sandwiches.
Using a sharp knife, cut each sandwich into four equal squares or triangles to create bite-sized pieces.
Arrange the finger sandwiches on a serving plate and serve immediately, or cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
