Cream Cheese & Walnut Sandwiches

Samantha’s Cook Book, p. 36

8 ounces cream cheese

4 tablespoons butter

¼ cup chopped walnuts

1/8 teaspoon nutmeg

1 tablespoon cream

1 teaspoon honey

12 pieces bread

Soften the cream cheese in a mixing bowl by letting it sit at room temperature for 1 hour. In another mixing bowl, soften the butter by letting it set at room temperature for 1 hour.

Add the chopped walnuts, nutmeg, and cream to the cream cheese. Stir well with a fork.

With a FORK.

Add the honey to the butter and mix well with a spoon.

What a beautiful sight.

With a SPOON.

Lay 6 slices of bread on the cutting board. Use a butter knife to spread the honey-butter on the bread. 

Oops. That's a spoon. We're going to Recipe Hell.

Then spread the cream cheese and nut filling on top.

Eeep! That's on the wrong slice! Culpa rebet vultus meus...

Lay the remaining 6 slices of bread on top of the filling. Use a sharp knife to cut off the crusts. Then cut each sandwich into triangles, squares, or rectangles. 

Grad students know better than to waste crusts.

My Rating: 4/5 "The nutmeg gives the cream cheese a nice pop! of flavor, and the little bit of it goes a long way here. Very filling."
