A trio of soft cheeses are the foundation for the savory filling of these simple, yet delicious, turkey tea sandwiches.
Blue Cheese & Turkey Tea Sandwiches
Makes approximately 16
Ingredients
- ½ cup salted butter, softened
- ½ cup large-curd cottage cheese
- 1 (3-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons blue cheese crumbles
- ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- 16 slices white bread
- ½ pound sliced deli turkey
Instructions
- In a medium mixing bowl, beat together butter, cottage cheese, cream cheese, blue cheese, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, and pepper with a mixer at medium-high speed until well blended. Spread cheese mixture in a thin layer onto bread slices. Top cheese layer of 8 bread slices evenly with turkey. Cover with remaining bread slices, cheese side down, to make 8 whole sandwiches. Place sandwiches in an airtight container, and freeze until very firm.
- • Using a serrated bread knife in a gentle sawing motion, cut and discard crusts from bread slices. Cut each sandwich into 2 equal rectangles to make a total of 16 tea sandwiches. Serve immediately, or cover with damp paper towels, place in a covered container, refrigerate, and serve within 2 hours
Notes
MAKE-AHEAD TIP: Cheese mixture can be prepared a day in advance, stored in an airtight container, and refrigerated. For a spreadable consistency, let come to room temperature just before using.
