Roast Beef Tea Sandwiches with Onion Jam
Serves: 12
 
Ingredients
  • 6 slices rustic white bread
  • 12 ultra-thin slices deli-style packaged roast beef
  • 3 slices baby Swiss cheese
  • 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 3 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1⁄2 cup loosely packed spring mix lettuce leaves
  • Onion Jam (recipe follows)
Instructions
  1. Using a lightweight serrated utility knife, cut away crusts from each bread slice to create a perfect 3 1⁄4-inch square. Cut each bread square in fourths diagonally to create 4 equal triangles, 24 total. Place bread triangles in a resealable plastic bag to prevent drying out.
  2. Fold each roast beef slice in half and then in half again to create a triangular shape, 12 total. Using
  3. a bread triangle as a pattern, trim excess roast beef.
  4. Using a bread triangle as a pattern, cut 4 triangles from each cheese slice, 12 total.
  5. In a small bowl, stir together mayonnaise and mustard. Spread a layer of mixture onto all bread triangles. On spread side of each of 12 bread triangles, arrange 2 or 3 lettuce leaves, 1 cheese triangle, and 1 roast beef triangle. Spread a layer of Onion Jam over roast beef triangles. Cover each with a remaining bread triangle, spread side down. Serve immediately, or cover with damp paper towels, place in an airtight container, refrigerate, and serve within 2 hours.
Notes
Kitchen Tip: Stack 2 bread slices together when cutting triangles so that bread pieces will match.
