CARROT-GINGER TEA SANDWICHES



Carrot-Ginger Tea Sandwiches image

I have had a couple of tea parties with my granddaughters. I let them choose the menu and this was one of the tea sandwiches Valerie chose. When I go to stay with them I make up several different sandwich fillings for them to make their own sandwiches for their lunchboxes and again this one is always requested.

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 medium carrots, finely grated
2-3 Tbsp cream cheese, room temperature
2 Tbsp mayonnaise
1 tsp ginger, fresh, finely grated
4 slice good firm bread*
4 tsp unsalted butter
alfalfa sprouts, optional

Steps:

  • 1. * Choose the best-quality bread as possible. Never serve end slices. Freezing the bread before cutting and then spreading makes for easier handling.
  • 2. In a medium bowl, combine carrots, cream cheese, mayonnaise, and ginger; add salt and pepper. Spread one side of each piece of bread lightly with butter. Top the buttered side of 2 slices of bread with carrot/ginger mixture (about 1/4-inch thick). Top with alfalfa sprouts and top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side down. Carefully cut the crusts from each sandwich with a long, sharp knife. Cut the sandwiches in half diagonally and then cut in half again. If desired, decorative shapes can be made with cookie cutters.
  • 3. MAKING SANDWICHES AHEAD OF TIME: If you need to make tea sandwiches in advance and need to keep them from drying out, cover them loosely with a sheet of wax paper and then place a damp kitchen towel over the wax paper (never place a damp towel directly on top of the bread because the sandwiches will become soggy). Refrigerate.

CARROT GINGER TEA SANDWICHES

This sandwich was part of the Tea we enjoyed at the Empress Hotel in Victoria, BC. I've not been able to find "sweet ginger paste" in this country, so I just grate some fresh ginger and sweeten it.
