Mediterranean Cheese Spread (for Dip or Cucumber Sandwiches)

These were served at Evie's wedding on the table with the finger sandwiches and the hot hors d'oeuvres. They are gluten-free if gluten-free bread is used, so we served both. 

Mediterranean Cheese Spread

2 pkg (8oz) cream cheese, softened

2 pkg (4oz) crumbled feta

1 clove garlic, pressed

10 oz frozen spinach, thaw and drain well

7 oz roasted red peppers

Mayo or sour cream (optional – to make spreading consistency for sandwiches)

Combine cream cheese, feta, and garlic.  Mix well.  Stir in spinach.  Chop red pepper into small bits and mix in.  Refrigerate until ready to use for dip or sandwiches.

Cucumber Sandwiches with Mediterranean Cheese Spread

Light, refreshing sandwiches made with the above were served at Evie's wedding on the table with the other finger sandwiches and the hot hors d'oeuvres. So yummy!

Ingredients:

2 English Cucumbers

1 loaf bread of your choice (we served regular and gluten-free)

Mediterranean Cheese Spread (see below)

Preparation:

1. Wash and cut cucumbers with food processor or mandolin for thin uniform slices.  

2. Use cheese spread on both slices of bread and layer cucumbers.  

3. If removing crusts, do it after the sandwich is assembled.

4. Slice square sandwiches with large X to create triangular sandwiches for serving at an event.
