PARTY SANDWICH

Another creation that takes me back in time...

Brazilian everyday bread is the long bread roll or as called by the Italians; "pannino"(I don't know it that's the correct spelling) "even in English I do my mistakes..." Maybe could we call it accent!?... I am sure I will be forgiven from all! Getting back to subject... Slice bread is eaten only in rare occasion in Brazil like in cocktail parties as mini sandwich spread with meat or vegetable paste or as a party sandwich like this one I am posting today.

The good thing about this "savory cake" it the fact you can put absolutely anything you want... You can make it healthy using wholegrain breads and low fat spreads and/or nuts or you can make it very rich using cheese spreads, mayonnaise, sour cream and decorate with french fries... Basically whatever your mind can think of. There are people who mix sweet spread like cranberry jam and shaving turkey... Just use your imagination! You won't be disappointed!



My sandwich was built by slicing horizontally a small piece of stale loaf that was about to go to the bin... I took the crust out and spreaded a thin layer of pate in each slice until all slice was used. My pates: green (homemade guacamole),red (tomato and cheese paste) and yellow (curry egg paste). Another thing I did was to moistened each slice with milk (because the bread was very dry/stale) before spread the pastes. To finalize, I mixed mash potato, cream cheese and mayonnaise and top the whole sculpture. The little piping I did with some chopped parsley into potato cream to give the color. My husband came home for lunch and he nearly finish the whole thing... Leaving only a little piece for me to try, as you can see it was a success!


I hope someone have a go on this one and see for themselves how yummy it tastes!!!
It would look great on a buffet type table, just make a big version with 2 loafs of bread.
Have a nice evening everyone!
