Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Walnuts
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 8 slices Whole wheat sandwich bread
- 2 tablespoons Butter (softened)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Toast the walnuts lightly in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant and golden, about 5 minutes. Let them cool slightly and then chop finely.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, honey, chopped walnuts, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until evenly combined and smooth.
Trim the crusts off all slices of bread to create neat squares. Spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each slice to prevent sogginess.
Evenly spread the walnut and cream cheese mixture on one side of half the bread slices.
Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side facing down, to create sandwiches.
Cut each sandwich into quarters diagonally to form neat triangles or into rectangles, depending on preference.
Arrange the walnut tea sandwiches on a serving platter and garnish with a few sprigs of parsley if desired.
Serve immediately or cover lightly with a damp paper towel and plastic wrap to keep fresh until serving.
