Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 cup Walnuts
- 2 tablespoons Honey
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 12 slices White sandwich bread
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, chopped for garnish)
Instructions
1. Take the cream cheese out of the refrigerator and let it soften at room temperature for about 10 minutes for easier mixing.
2. Finely chop the walnuts, ensuring they are small enough to allow smooth spreading later.
3. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, chopped walnuts, honey, and salt. Mix well until the ingredients are evenly combined.
4. Lay out the slices of white sandwich bread on a clean surface. If desired, trim the crusts off for a classic finger sandwich presentation.
5. Spread an even layer of the walnut-cream cheese mixture on 6 slices of bread, making sure to cover the entire surface.
6. Place the remaining slices of bread on top of the spread-covered slices to form sandwiches.
7. Using a sharp knife, carefully cut each sandwich into four equal-sized rectangles or triangles, depending on your preference.
8. Arrange the finger sandwiches on a serving platter. If desired, garnish with a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsley for added color and flavor.
9. Serve immediately or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve. These sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh.
