Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Bread (white, whole wheat, or sandwich bread of choice)
- 0.5 cups Pomegranate jelly
- 0.5 cups Cream cheese (softened)
- 2 tablespoons Butter (optional)
Instructions
1. Place all 8 slices of bread on a clean surface or cutting board. If desired, lightly spread butter onto one side of each slice for an extra layer of flavor.
2. Evenly spread cream cheese onto 4 of the bread slices. Aim for a thick layer, about 2 tablespoons per slice, to ensure a creamy balance.
3. On the other 4 slices of bread, evenly spread pomegranate jelly, using about 2 tablespoons per slice. Spread it all the way to the edges for even flavor in every bite.
4. Gently press a cream cheese slice and a jelly slice together to form a sandwich, with the buttered sides on the outside, if butter was used.
5. Using a serrated knife, trim the crusts off each sandwich if desired. This step is optional but provides a neat presentation.
6. Cut each sandwich into halves or quarters, depending on your preference. Triangles or squares both work well.
7. Serve immediately as a snack or light meal. Pair with tea, coffee, or a glass of milk for a complete experience.
