Checkerboard Sandwiches

by olga

Servings:

INGREDIENTS

8 brown bread slices, day old
8 white bread slices, day old
Butter or margarine, softened
Cream cheese filling

CREAM CHEESE FILLING:

4 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 Tbsp. Mayonnaise
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/4 tsp. onion salt
1/4 tsp. yellow food coloring.

INSTRUCTIONS

Beginning with a brown slice, alternate the colors, (brown, white, brown, white) buttering and spreading with filling between the slices. Make 2 stacks like this. Cut crusts from stacks. Wrap snuggly in plastic and chill about 30 minutes. Keep remaining filling soft.

Cut each stack into slices 1/2 inch thick. Spread between these ribboned slices with butter and filling. Make stacks again alternating slices so that white strips rest on brown strips, forming a checkerboard. Wrap snugly in plastic and chill. To serve, cut in 1/2 inch slices.

FOR THE CREAM CHEESE FILLING: Beat all together well. Especially suited for the checkerboard sandwich since it firms and holds well when chilled. Add food coloring. Filling will be mustard color.
