Patchwork Quilt (Recipe by Annabel Karmel)
Advertisements
This is an attractive way of displaying miniature sandwiches – choose toppings of contrasting colours. There are lots of different foods you can use for decoration. This looks great for a special tea party and children will be able to choose their favourite sandwich from the patchwork quilt – ask them if they know what each sandwich is made from! Alternatively, you can make a patchwork quilt on one slice of bread. Cut contrasting coloured cheese slices into squires. Arrange like a chessboard on top of the bread and decorate.
Ingredients:
- 4 pieces wholemeal bread
- Butter or margarine for spreading
- A variety of different toppings for decoration such as: peanut butter, vegemite or marmite, different coloured cheeses, egg mayonnaise, grapes, sliced cheery tomatoes, cucumber, radishes. Lettuce.
Spread the slices of bread with butter or margarine. Remove the crusts and cut each slice into strips. Put a different topping on each strip and then cut each strip into small squares from each slice of bread. On a large plate, arrange the small squares in rows, mixing up the different toppings, to make one large square. Decorate some of the squares. Makes 36 miniature open sandwiches.
