Ingredients
- 1 cup Walnuts
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 8 slices Whole wheat sandwich bread
- 2 tablespoons Butter (softened)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Toast the walnuts lightly in a dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant and golden, about 5 minutes. Let them cool slightly and then chop finely.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, honey, chopped walnuts, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until evenly combined and smooth.
Step 3
Trim the crusts off all slices of bread to create neat squares. Spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each slice to prevent sogginess.
Step 4
Evenly spread the walnut and cream cheese mixture on one side of half the bread slices.
Step 5
Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side facing down, to create sandwiches.
Step 6
Cut each sandwich into quarters diagonally to form neat triangles or into rectangles, depending on preference.
Step 7
Arrange the walnut tea sandwiches on a serving platter and garnish with a few sprigs of parsley if desired.
Step 8
Serve immediately or cover lightly with a damp paper towel and plastic wrap to keep fresh until serving.
