directions

  • In a medium bowl, mix together cream cheese and mayonnaise. Split into 4 approximately 4 oz. portions and put into separate bowls.
  • Combine pineapple and 4 oz. cream cheese mixture and set aside. Combine green olives and 4 oz. cream cheese and set aside. Combine cucumbers and 4 oz. cream cheese mixture and set aside (I sprinkled chopped cucumber with salt and drained it over a colander for 30 minutes and patted it with a paper towel before adding it to cream cheese). Combine pecans and 4 oz. of cream cheese mixture and set aside.
  • To assemble sandwiches, spread fillings on top of white bread slices. Cut each sandwich into triangles, squares or circles. Arrange on a large platter by filling. Garnish with parsley, bacon pieces, poppy seeds, or pecans.

  1. Oh my gosh I'm in party sandwich heaven!!! Keep these away from me before I gain 10 lbs. EVERYONE at our baby shower LOVED them, so I had to come home, print 40 copies of the recipe and distribute them!! The taste of these ingredients all meld together for a wonderful tea sandwich. I'm SO glad I found this and will be using it over and over again. Thank you so much for sharing!!!
     
  2. I grew up in the same hometown as Paula, and these sandwiches were a staple at any "tea" during the "70s. This is what "respectable young women" served when they entertained! Thanks for the trip down memory lane and for a darned good recipe as well.
