These sandwiches will brighten your day and your picnic. The contrast of white and brown when serving is pretty awesome. The filling is also very tasty and unique. You have to try it.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, sour cream, chopped sundried tomatoes, fresh basil and salt, pepper. Mix very well and taste, adjust the seasonings as needed. Also add the walnuts next and mix again.
Next, cut off all the crusts off of all the bread slices.
Lay the bread on flat surface and start spreading the cream cheese mixture equally.
Then cut into squares or triangles and place in a container or plastic bag.
Recipe 2: Precooked Chili Pizza
If you dont mind eating pizza cold or room temperature, than you will definitely enjoy this one on your next picnic. I know I have eaten many cold pizza slices, and fully enjoyed them, so its up to you!
List of Ingredients:
- 1 cup chili (meatless)
- package cream cheese with chives
- 1 chopped green onion
- 1 cup shredded Mozzarella cheese
- 1 or 2 flatbreads
Yield: 2-4
Cooking Time: 40 minutes
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
Using small individual flatbreads or a large one to share, spread the cream cheese with chives equally.
Add the chili you have chosen, use your homemade recipe or a canned one. The choice does not matter.
Add the green onion on top.
Finally sprinkle a layer of Mozzarella shredded cheese.
Bake in the oven for 20 minutes so until the cheese is completely melted.
Of course, you have to plan ahead, because you cannot pack your hot pizza, or actually you could if you have one of these containers to keep it warm.
You could also do as I do and simply cook it ahead and just be okay eating it cold.
Make sure you do bring the accessories you need to cut the pizza or simply use your hands to separate the dough. Enjoy!
