More Christmas High Tea

We also had two kinds of meat sandwiches.

Roast Beef, Gorgonzola, and Pear Sandwich

100% Whole Wheat Bread, 1 loaf
Roast beef, deli sliced (plain), 1/2 to 1 pound, depending on how thick you make the sandwiches
2 firm, yet ripe, pears
1 eight ounce container of Gorgonzola crumbled cheese, room temp
1 ounce cream cheese, softened to room temp

Mix the Gorgonzola and the cream cheese and set aside
Slice the pears (you can leave the peels on if you have a thin-skinned pear)

Butter the bread (as discussed in the previous blog -- keeping your sandwiches fresh)
Spread with the Gorgonzola mix
Top with pear slices and roast beef
Finish off sandwich with another piece of bread.
Cut off crusts and cut up in halves or quarters.

Turkey and Cranberry-Jalapeno Salsa Sandwich

1 loaf brioche bread
1/2 to 1 pound deli sliced turkey breast
8 ounces cranberry jalapeno salsa (recipe to be posted here)

Butter the bread for freshness.
Spread with the cranberry jalapeno salsa.
Top with another slice of buttered bread.
Cut of crusts and cut into halves or quarters.

Tomorrow I'll post the salsa recipe, courtesy of my good friends, Steve and Christy, and the bread recipes I used, courtesy of Mr. James Beard's On Bread.
