Calla Lily Tea Sandwiches Recipe

Prep: 40 min. + chilling

Yield: 18 Servings

40 40

Ingredients

1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 teaspoon grated onion
1/4 teaspoon dried tarragon
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 can (4-1/2 ounces) chunk white chicken, drained
1 celery rib, finely chopped
18 slices white bread, crusts removed
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
18 pieces (1 inch each) julienned carrot

Directions

In a large bowl, combine the first four ingredients; stir in chicken and celery; set aside. With a rolling pin, flatten each slice of bread to 1/8-in. thickness; cut into 2-1/2-in. squares. Spread with butter. Roll up into a funnel shape, overlapping the two adjacent sides; secure with a toothpick.
Spoon about 1 teaspoon chicken filling into each sandwich. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate for 1 hour.
Remove toothpicks. Sprinkle sandwiches with parsley. Insert a carrot piece into the filling of each sandwich. Yield: 1-1/2 dozen.

It is easier to make a Calla Lily shape if you cut the bread slices into triangles instead of a square. Overlap the two points from the long side and you will have a wrapped shape with a point just like a Calla Lily.
