PESTO AND CREAM CHEESE SANDWICH
Like many families, Tea Time Snacking was a daily evening staple in my household growing up. And usually we reached for standard fare like chips and some pre-packaged snacks but whenever mom made sandwiches, it was more like "an evening party time". I always enjoyed those sandwiches and often make for my family but with some of my own flavor ideas. Today's recipe is my creative spin on Tea Time Cream Sandwich - Pesto Cream Cheese Sandwiches. It has two layers; one of nutty basil pesto and another of cream cheese, sandwiched between 3 slices of lite white bread. Nutty pesto and cream cheese are great complement to each other. This recipe is perfect for evening snacking, for breakfast and you can also pack some pesto sandwiches for kids to school.
