Ingredients

Cheese
8 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 Tbsp salted butter, softened
½ tsp Creole Seasoning
¼ tsp Minced garlic
⅛ tsp thyme, oregano rosemary, chives, basil, dill, sage
1 tsp fresh parsley, chopped fine
2 Tbsp half and half
1 tsp sherry vinegar
¼ tsp Worcestershire sauce
⅓ cup sour cream

Sandwiches
1 cucumber, peeled and sliced into very thin rounds
½ cup shaved red onion
12 pieces wheat bread

Instructions

Cheese

Place all ingredients in the bowl of an electric mixer. Using the paddle attachment, beat on high speed until all ingredients are well incorporated, scraping sides of the bowl occasionally to ensure all ingredients are combined.

 

Sandwiches

Spread the boursin cheese mixture evenly over six slices of the bread. Arrange the cucumber slices on each piece of bread, making sure to cover the entire surface of the bread. Spread divide the red onions evenly atop the cucumber slices and top with the remaining slices of the bread. Cut the crusts from the sandwiches and cut each sandwich into 3 rectangles. Cover well and refrigerate until needed.

Honey Bundt Cake

This bundt cake brings back memories of family gatherings on Bellewood Drive where sweets were as much a part of the celebration as the presents under the tree. The warm notes of cinnamon and honey make it a natural fit for holiday mornings or as the perfect finish to a Christmas feast. The pomegranate glaze adds a bright, tart finish that keeps things interesting. Make sure to grease every nook and cranny of your bundt pan thoroughly. Use butter and dust with flour for a clean release. Also, letting the cake cool for a solid twenty minutes before flipping is key to avoiding a sticky mess.
