When my daughter was little and we went to great pains to arrange tea parties for the family, we usually felt like her six brothers swooped in like hawks, downed everything without noticing, and flew off.
Very dissatisfying! However, I do know that men require more food than women, so when we had our last high tea, I definitely wanted to offer sandwiches with some substance to them.
So, I took some of Alan and my favorite ingredients and put them together in a slightly smaller form, but definitely still substantive. Very festive, and I think even Kathy’s brothers would have approved!
London Broil and Swiss Cheese Sandwiches
(per sandwich)
2 slices whole grain bread (I used gluten-free, which came in a much smaller-sized loaf; if I had use larger slices, I would have trimmed off the edges and cut them in half for a high tea)
Stone-ground mustard on both slices of bread
1 /2 slice Swiss cheese
2 oz. thin-sliced London Broil (which is a lot, but it’s the best part), lightly salted and peppered
1 crunchy baby dill pickle, split in half
Super simple to make, but very satisfying and full of flavor! Great for tea parties, or in larger versions with soups or salads.
“The eyes of all wait upon thee; and thou givest them their meat in due season.”
Psalm 145:15
“Blessed are you, Lord God, king of the universe: you raised your beloved son from the dead, and made him Lord of all. We turn to you in prayer and ask you to bless us and this food you have given us. Help us to be generous toward others, and to work with them so that they too may eat well. Loving Father, may we all celebrate together around your table in heaven. We praise you and give you glory through Christ our Lord.” – Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops
