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!

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.

Now I am not a big fan of curry, I am really sensitive to scents and the intensity of curry doesn’t appeal to me. These however were absolutely delicious! I could not stop gobbling them up!

The Magician’s Nephew Tea Party/Book Club: Tea Time Magazine’s Ham and Cheese 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). The first week we had Cederberg Tea Company Rooibos + Ginger Tea, Cranberry-Spice Scones with Maple Cream, Cucumber-Four Peppercorn Goat Cheese Canapés, Ham and Cheese Tea Sandwiches, Fotina & Pork Puffed Pastry, and Mini Apple Pies.

I couldn’t share the recipes in October as I was in the middle of Horrorfst IX, so I will be starting now-and as I started with scones, I’m moving on to sandwiches.

And eat sandwiches!

This recipe comes from Tea Time Magazine Annual British Issue.

Ingredients:

• 1/3 Pound of English Cheddar Cheese
• 1/4 Cup of Mayonnaise
• 2 Tablespoons of English Mustard
• 8 Slices of Firm Honey Wheat Bread
• 8 Large Slices of Deli-Style Ham

Directions:

• Using a cheese slicer, cut very thin slices of cheese horizontally from a cheese block (I picked up cheese from the deli so it was already sliced thin.)
• In a small bowl combine mustard and mayonnaise, mix well.
• Spread a layer of mayonnaise mixture onto 8 slices of bread.
• Arrange 2 ham slices on 4 bread slices.
• Place cheese slices over the ham and top with remaining bread slices, spread side down, to make 4 sandwiches.
• Using a serrated bread knife in a gentle sawing motion, trim and discard crusts from each sandwich to create 4.5×2.5-inch rectangles.
• Cut each sandwich into 3 (2.5×1.5-inch rectangles).
• Serve immediately, or cover with damp paper towels, place in a covered container, and refrigerate up to 2 hours before serving.

So my sandwiches didn’t come out quite right, I don’t think I cut the bread as thick as it should have been, as they kept toppling over.

I’ve noticed that a lot of these English recipes want you to use mustard and mayonnaise, not my favorite condiments. I usually half the amounts as that is more to my taste.

Otherwise they were pretty good and very easy to make.
