Goat Cheese Finger Sandwiches
Lovely little appetizers for a party or shower.
Servings: 40 appetizers
Ingredients
- 10½ ounces goat cheese, at room temperature
- One 8-ounce package cream cheese, at room temperature
- 6 tablespoons half and half cream
- 2 medium garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
- ¾ teaspoon Kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon minced fresh thyme
- ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 40 thin slices whole grain bread
- 1 large unpeeled hothouse cucumber, sliced thinly
Instructions
- In a large bowl, use an electric mixer to combine the cheeses, half and half and spices. Beat on medium speed until well mixed. You can add additional half and half if the mixture is too thick.
- To assemble the sandwiches, spread half of the bread slices with the prepared spread. Arrange the cucumbers on top of the cheese, and top with the remaining bread.
- Press down slightly, trim crusts and cut sandwiches into triangles, thirds, or circles.
Notes
- *At good bakeries, they will slice loaves of bread for you- as thin as you'd like. Or you can buy thin-sliced sandwich bread.
- *Be sure to use "hothouse" cucumbers for this recipe.
- Note that nutritional information can vary greatly on this recipe depending on the bread you're using and how many sandwiches you create. The nutritional info shared is based on each sandwich being cut in half. There will be fewer calories also because the crusts are cut off and discarded.
