Notes

Expert Tips

• Make the sandwiches as close to the time of serving as possible to avoid them drying out.

• Cover them loosely with food wrap until ready to serve.

• Choose granary or wholemeal bread for the cream cheese sandwich to add contrast to the appearance.

• A lively tasting apple, such as a Pink Lady, is ideal for the cheddar & apple sandwich.

• You can make any of these sandwiches as regular-sized sandwiches by simply not removing the crust from the bread and cutting them in half rather than slicing the into sandwich fingers.
