Calla Lily Tea Sandwiches
4 dozen sandwiches
Ingredients
- 4 loaves of white sandwich bread
- Herbed Boursin cheese filling
- Smoked salmon and cream cheese filling
- Paprika
- Carrot matchsticks
- 3-4 bunches of scallions, green part cut into 2-3" lengths
Directions
With a 2-1/2" round biscuit cutter, cut 48 bread circles from the loaves of white bread. Using a rolling pin, flatten each bread circle. Place a teaspoon of filling in the center of each circle. Stick a carrot matchstick into the top of a scallion and place it onto the base of the circle. Sprinkle paprika over the filling for garnish. Pinch the sides of the circle together at the base of the circle to form the calla lily flower. Cover the sandwiches with a lightly dampened paper towel to keep them from drying out while you are assembling the sandwiches. Remove the paper towel and cover tightly with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until serving.
