The Magician’s Nephew Tea Party/Book Club: Cranberry, Brie, and Rosemary Bites

So every Wednesday, starting in October, I have been a part of a Tea Party/Bible Study/Book Club on The Magician’s Nephew by C.S. Lewis. This is different from my book club and the Book Club Picks I have been reviewing (and desperately need to catch up on). I also need to catch up on these recipes. Week three we had Organic India Tulsi Masala Chai Tea, Parmesan and Chive Scones, Cucumber Aioli Canapés, Ham, Cheddar, and Apple Tea Sandwiches, Cranberry, Brie, and Rosemary Bites, and Mini Pumpkin Creme Brulee.

I couldn’t share the recipes in October as I was in the middle of Horrorfest IX, so I am catching up and of course next is the side.

And food to go with.

 

This recipe comes from Cheese Curd in Paradise.

Ingredients:

  • 1 Sheet Frozen Puff Pastry, thawed
  • 3/4 Cup of Cranberry Sauce
  • 8 oz Brie Cheese
  • 1-2 Sprigs of Fresh Rosemary

Directions:

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  2. Using a knife or pizza cutter cut the dough into 12 equal pieces.
  3. Place each piece in a cup of a 12-cup muffin tin. You want each of the four sides to slightly poke over the top of the cup.
  4. Cut the brie into 1-inch pieces, place a piece into each cup.
  5. Evenly distribute the cranberry sauce in the cups over the brie. You will use about 1-1.5 tsp per cup.
  6. Pull the rosemary apart so each cup is topped with a small sprig.
  7. Bake for 15 mins.
  8. The puff pastry should be golden brown. Remove from the oven and allow the cups to sit for a few mins to slightly cool.
  9. Use a small butter knife to carefully release the bites from the baking pan.
  10. Serve and enjoy!

So I DO not like brie cheese at all. I didn’t care for these, but everyone else loved them. If you are a brie cheese fan, you’ll love this.

The Magician’s Nephew Tea Party/Book Club: Turkey-Apple Tea Sandwiches

So every Wednesday, starting in October, I have been a part of a Tea Party/Bible Study/Book Club on The Magician’s Nephew by C.S. Lewis. This is different from my book club and the Book Club Picks I have been reviewing (and desperately need to catch up on). I also need to catch up on these recipes, week two was Chami Spice Ginger Plum Tea, Dark Chocolate Ginger Scones, Curried Egg Salad Triple Stacks Sandwiches, Turkey-Apple Tea Sandwiches, Fotina Flower Pastry, and Lemon Gingerbread Cake.

I couldn’t share the recipes in October as I was in the middle of Horrorfest IX, so I am catching up and of course after sandwich number one, we have sandwich number two.

YUM!

This comes from Tea Time Magazine. 

Turkey-Apple Tea Sandwiches Ingredients:

  • 4 Slices Honey Wheat Bread
  • 8 Slices of Smoked Turkey
  • 1 Red Apple
  • 1 Recipe Cranberry Spread
  • 8 Leaves of Baby Spinach

Directions:

  1. Using a serrated knife, cut and discard crusts from bread slices, creating a perfect 3-inch square.
  2. Cut each square diagonally into 4 triangles.
  3. Cover bread with damp paper towels to prevent drying out while preparing other ingredients.
  4. Using a sharp chef’s knife, cut 8 triangles the same size as the bread triangles from turkey.
  5. Using a sharp chef’s knife, cut 8 very thin vertical slices from the apple.
  6. Spread a layer of the cranberry spread onto each bread triangle.
  7. On the cranberry side of 8 bread triangles layer a spinach leaf, a turkey slice, and an apple slice.
  8. Top each with a remaining bread triangle, cranberry side down.
  9. Serve immediately, or cover with damp paper towels, place in a covered container, and refrigerate for a few hours until ready to serve.

Cranberry Spread Ingredients:

  • 1/3 Cup of Mayonnaise
  • 3 Tablespoons of Jellied Cranberry Sauce with Cranberries
  • 1 Tablespoon of Yellow Mustard
  • 1/8 Teaspoon of Salt
  • 1/8 Teaspoon of Ground Black Pepper

Directions:

  1. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, cranberry sauce, mustard, salt, and pepper.

These were delicious sandwiches and a perfect fall time tea savory.
