Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 slices thin cut white bread (recommended: Pepperidge Farm Thin White Sandwich Bread)
1 cup soft, spreadable herb cheese (recommended: Alouette)
8 slices prosciutto di Parma
12 leaves fresh arugula or basil (spicy vs. sweet)
2 plum tomatoes, thinly sliced
Salt
2 radishes, thinly sliced
Toothpicks

Steps:

Trim all crusts from bread. Spread 4 slices with herb soft cheese. Top each cheese covered slice with 2 slices each of prosciutto, 3 leaves of arugula, thinly sliced tomatoes seasoned with a pinch of salt. Place a completed layer a top another, making 2 stacks each 2 layers high. Set the final trimmed bread slices in place, making 2 triple-decker sandwiches. Thinly slice and salt the radishes. Pierce a couple of thin slices of radish on each toothpick as you place 4 toothpicks in each sandwich. Cut each sandwich into 4 equal parts, cutting the sandwich across evenly on each side. The yield will be 8 triple-decker, square-shaped, "club" finger sandwiches, 2 per portion.
