SkinnyEats Blue Cheese & Walnut Finger Sandwiches
Yield: Makes about 7 dozen (84 sandwiches)
Ingredients
~SkinnyEats Blue Cheese Dressing, to taste (I used about half of the can)
~3/4 cup walnuts, chopped
~8 oz Weight Watchers whipped cream cheese spread, softened
~1 Tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
~2 bread loaves (22 slices) of your choice (I used Angelic Bakehouse Sprouted Seven-Grain)
~Fig or cherry preserves (try to get 100% fruit preserves with no cane sugar)
Procedure
~Preheat oven to 350°. Bake walnuts in a shallow pan about 7 minutes or until toasted and fragrant, stirring after 5 minutes. Allow to cool completely. Chop walnuts and set aside.
~Stir together cream cheese and parsley. Add SkinnyEats Blue Cheese dressing to taste, or until the spread reaches your desired consistency.
~Mix in chopped walnuts. Spread on 1 side of each bread slice.
~Spread preserves on half of bread slices. Top with the other bread slices, with the cheese side down.
~Cut crusts from sandwiches, and cut each sandwich into 8 pieces. If you donāt plan to serve them immediately, you can chill the uncut sandwiches in plastic bags up to 24 hours.
*Quick snack variation: eat the blue cheese/cream cheese spread and preserves on crackers
