Walnut Tea Sandwiches image

Recipe source: The Book Club Cookbook -- describing a wonderful way to discus Jane Eyre at your book club while nibbling on these wonderful tea sandwiches -- best if used very thin bread (suggestion: Pepperidge Farm thinly sliced bread/a combination of white and wheat would be pretty on a tray). Suggested to make sandwiches ahead of time and then cover them with waxed paper and then refrigerate them to prevent drying out -- but it is still best to prepare sandwiches as close to serving time as possible.
