20 Servings
Prep: 45 min.
Ingredients
1 package (3 ounces) cream cheese, softened
1 carton (7 ounces) roasted eggplant hummus
10 slices white bread, crusts removed
10 slices whole wheat bread, crusts removed
20 cucumber slices
20 spinach leaves
1 large sweet red pepper, cut into 2-inch strips
10 slices red onion, halved
8 pimiento-stuffed olives, drained and patted dry
8 pitted ripe olives, drained and patted dry
Directions
In a small bowl, beat cream cheese until smooth. Add hummus; beat
until combined. Cut each slice of bread in half widthwise. Spread
hummus mixture over 10 white bread halves and 10 wheat bread halves.
Top each with cucumber, spinach, red pepper and red onion.
Top white bread halves with remaining white bread; top wheat bread
halves with remaining wheat bread. Thread toothpicks through olives;
