Ham & Green Apple Tea Sandwiches
 
Makes 6
Ingredients
  • 3 slices rye bread with seeds, frozen
  • 1 large green apple
  • 3 slices Havarti cheese
  • Dijon Mayonnaise (recipe follows)
  • 1 head green leaf lettuce
  • 6 ultra-thin slices smoked ham
Instructions
  1. Using a 2-inch round cutter, cut 12 circles from frozen bread. To prevent bread rounds from drying out, place frozen bread in a resealable plastic bag to let thaw at room temperature.
  2. Using a sharp paring knife, cut thin slices vertically from apple. Using a 2-inch round cutter, cut 6 circles from apple slices, including an edge of peel. Using same cutter, cut 6 circles from cheese slices.
  3. Spread a thin layer of Dijon Mayonnaise onto bread rounds. Place small lettuce leaves on top of mayonnaise side of 6 bread rounds, trimming excess lettuce. Top each with a ruffled piece of ham, an apple round, and a cheese round. Cover with remaining bread rounds, mayonnaise side down. Secure with a decorative pick, if desired. Serve immediately, or cover with damp paper towels, place in a covered container, and refrigerate until serving time.
