Cute little tea sandwiches? They're much easier than they look ... couple different kinds of bread, couple different sorts of fillings, some sharp cookie cutters, and you're golden.
Wow. I may have to do that for my next pot luck. I go to a quarterly meeting where that's a feature.
Or you could do the Rachel Ray Salmon Dip that I'm completely in love with ... actually you could use this as a filling for the tea sandwiches.
have made this with both honest-to-goodness Nova (expensive) and that Starkist stuff that comes in the foil packet (cheap). Both work. Obviously, the Nova is better, but what I'm saying is you can get away with the less expensive alternative, and you'll still look like a cooking genius.
I usually put a little card next to the dip bowl announcing it as "Wolf's Bossy Nova Salmon Dip."
Ingredients
1/2 lb cream cheese, softened
1/8 cup heavy cream
4 tablespoons chives, finely chopped (I've used fresh and freeze dried. Both work fine)
1/2 lb smoked salmon or lox, diced
1 teaspoon lemon zest
black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup sour cream
Directions
1. Mix cream cheese and heavy cream, until smooth.
2. Stir in chives, salmon, lemon zest, pepper and sour cream.
3. Transfer to serving dish and refrigerate for one hour.
4. Serve with variety of crackers.
