Photo: Herbed Goat Cheese Sandwiches Recipe
Ingredients
For the spread:
- 8 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
- 10 1/2 ounces montrachet or other mild goat cheese, at room temperature
- 1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic (2 cloves)
- 1/2 teaspoon minced fresh thyme leaves
- 3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley
- 5 to 6 tablespoons milk, half-and-half or heavy cream
- 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
For the sandwiches:
- 2 loaves 7-grain bread, thinly sliced
- 1 hothouse cucumber, not peeled
Directions
For the spread, place the cream cheese, goat cheese, garlic, thyme, parsley, 5 tablespoons milk, salt and pepper in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium speed until well mixed. Add an additional tablespoon of milk if the spread is very thick.
To make the sandwiches, spread each slice of bread with the goat cheese spread. Slice the cucumber into thin rounds and arrange on half of the bread slices. Top with the remaining bread. Press slightly, trim off the crusts and cut the sandwiches into halves, thirds or triangles.
Make these sandwiches in the morning, then cover with damp paper towels and plastic wrap and refrigerate. Cut just before serving.

Loved these sandwiches. Made them for my sister's bridal shower and they were so easy! The cheese spread is so flavourful and goes great with the cucumber. I also added hot capocollo slices to half of the sandwiches and they were a big hit and a nice addition!

Made these for a couple different Christmas parties and they were a big hit at each. One caution - this recipe makes a LOT of filling so unless you're serving a large crowd you might want to halve it.
