Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese
- 1 cup Crushed pineapple (drained)
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 12 slices White sandwich bread
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (optional, for spreading)
- 6 leaves Fresh parsley or mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, drained crushed pineapple, and powdered sugar. Mix until smooth and well-incorporated.
Optional: Lightly spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice of bread to prevent the filling from soaking into the bread.
Spread an even layer of the pineapple cream cheese mixture onto six slices of bread.
Top with the remaining slices of bread to form sandwiches.
Using a sharp knife, carefully trim off the crusts of each sandwich for a clean, elegant look.
Cut each sandwich into quarters. You can cut them into squares, triangles, or other shapes depending on your preference.
Optional: Garnish each sandwich with a small parsley or mint leaf for a decorative touch.
Arrange the sandwiches on a serving platter and serve immediately. If not serving right away, cover with a slightly damp paper towel and plastic wrap to keep them fresh.
