Finger Sandwiches
( Canapes )

You will need a small pastry bag with a star tip.
You can get these little sets in a specialty cooking shop and most department stores.

Finger sandwiches 16 people ....3 each
16 slices of bread make sure it is a square slice.
Cucumber
Ham
Turkey
roast beef

1 lb. cream cheese softened in microwave and mixed with 2 Tabl. horseradish and 4 Tabl. sour cream

Hint, It is important to out the meat or cucumbers on the toast before you trim the crusts.
This way the sides look very neat and trimmed and meat is not hanging over the sides.

Toast white or wheat bread .....
Spread cream cheese mixture lightly on the sandwich
place 1 slice of turkey on the bread
then cut the crusts off forming a perfect square
cut diagonally to form 4 triangles
place on cookie sheet and repeat with 3 other slices of Toast

To Garnish
You can put all kinds of garnishes on the finger sandwiches
for this one I am suggesting a mandarin orange slice

First put a squeeze of cream cheese in the middle of each triangle
place mandarin orange slice on top of the cream cheese and then anchor
a small leaf of parsley in the cream cheese.
repeat with the other triangles

Now do the same with the ham, only
1. Cut into rectangles instead of triangles
2. Put a pineapple tidbit and a little slice of marachino cherry

WIth Cucumber peel and score cucumber with Fork or channel cutter
lay slices on toast and square off toast.
Cut into desired shape or use cookie cutter
garnish with very thin slices of red bell pepper, a baby shrimp, and fresh dill sprig

Roast Beef you can garnish
cherry tomato slices and strips of green onion leaves

When you arrange the finger sandwiches on a tray alternate rows of turkey , ham, roast beef, and cucumber so you get the contrast of different shapes and colors.
