Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 8 slices whole grain bread (use your favorite, I enjoy an artisian style, 5 or 7 grain bread)
  • 1 cup watercress or baby arugula
  • 1 cup alfalfa sprouts
  • 1 small red onion thin sliced
  • 1 tablespoon butter, softened
  • FILLING
  • 1 package (8 ounce) cream cheese, softened
  • 1/3 cup dried currants
  • 2 to 3 tablespoons walnuts, fine chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh tarragon, minced
  • Salt
  • Pepper
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Filling ... Add the cream cheese, currants, walnuts, herbs, and a pinch of both salt and pepper to taste to a bowl; and, mix until combined. I like to cover and refrigerate at least an hour before serving to let the flavors develop; but, it is not necessary.

  • Step 2: Sandwich ... Butter one sandwich slice, and spread the cream cheese on the other. Top the cream cheese half with the sprouts, watercress, and a couple of red onion slices; top with the buttered slice, cut, and ENJOY!

  • Step 3: Delicious, healthy, and easy! These make great appetizers, a perfect lunch; and for me, I could enjoy this for dinner with a creamy potato leek or creamy asparagus soup. Sometimes, it is nice to have a meatless, light, and healthy dinner.

We hope you enjoy this recipe!
