Anne’s Asparagus Sandwiches

Anne’s Asparagus Sandwiches

Ingredients

  • 12 ozs. cream cheese
  • 1 (10.5-oz.) can cut asparagus pieces, drained
  • 2 hard-cooked eggs, finely chopped
  • 1-1/2 tsps. lemon juice
  • 3 to 4 shakes of Tony Chachere’s Original Creole Seasoning
  • 2 loaves of Very Thin Pepperidge Farm white bread
  • Melted butter (not margarine)
  • Grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

1. With a fork, mash together the cream cheese, asparagus, hard-cooked eggs, lemon juice and Tony Chachere’s seasoning until well combined.

2. Spread liberally on one side of half of the slices of bread. Top each with another slice of bread. Trim crusts and cut each sandwich in thirds.

3. Put sandwiches closely together on an ungreased cookie sheet. Brush tops lightly with melted butter and shake finely grated Parmesan on top.

4. Bake in a preheated 400-degree oven until the tops are lightly browned, about 10 minutes. Turn and brush other sides with melted butter. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and bake until browned and heated through, about 5 minutes more.

Makes about 80 finger sandwiches.

This is from my sister-in-law, Anne Erwin, of Nashville, Tenn. They are a sure winner at any party. They can be made ahead, covered and put in the refrigerator until time to bake.
