Description
These delightful tea sandwiches are modified slightly from the Alice’s Tea Cup cookbook.
Ingredients
For the mustard spread
4 tablespoons mayonnaise
4 tablespoons Dijon mustard
For the sandwiches
14 slices whole grain bread
14 slices Black Forest Ham
14 slices Gruyère cheese
Fresh baby arugula
Instructions
For the mustard spread, combine the mayonnaise and mustard until thoroughly blended.
For the sandwiches, spread a thin layer of the mustard spread on one side of each slice of bread. Place a layer of ham, then cheese, and then ham on 7 slices of bread. Place several leaves of arugula on the ham. Top with remaining 7 slices of bread, spread side down.
Place the sandwiches on a sheet pan, covering with a barely damp paper towel. Seal the sheet pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate until the sandwiches are cold and firm.
To serve, cut off crusts from each sandwich then cut into quarters – triangles, squares, or soldiers. Serve chilled.
