I have been testing out various tea sandwiches for a service tomorrow.
So far, the winners are:
Curried chicken salad with dried cranberries and dates, watercress, and whipped basil-herb butter on thin sliced sourdough flute
Cream cheese and fresh sliced strawberries on thin-sliced date-nut bread
Thin-sliced smoked turkey, gouda cheese, apple, cucumber, and apple jelly on cocktail pumpernickel
A classic English cucumber, chives, basil, and roasted red bell pepper, on white bread, with garlic hummus
One loser:
Crumbled gorganzola and sliced grapes, on cocktail pumpernickel toast with melted basil-herb whipped butter.
Still to try:
Smoked salmon, tomato, cucumber, thin-sliced onion, and basil-herb butter on cocktail wheat.
