Recipe Type:
Onion,
Sandwich,
Appetizer
Yields: 16 sandwich rounds
Prep time: 20 min
Ingredients:
8 slices firm-textured white bread, cut into quarters
8 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1 large sweet
onion,
peeled and sliced into paper-thin slices*
Fleur de sel, coarse salt, or sea
salt
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
4 tablespoons of finely minced chives or parsley
* Choose from
Vidalia, Walla Walla, Maui, Imperial, Carzalia, or Texas Spring sweet
onions.
Preparation:
Arrange the bread slices next to one
another on a flat work surface. Using a glass or an 1-inch round
coo0kie cutter, cut out two (2) small rounds from each sandwich;
discard trimmings.
Spread each bread circle with 1
tablespoon butter. Place a thin layer of sliced onions over the butter.
Lightly season the onions with salt. This is a great place to use your
Fleur de sel.
Assemble the sandwiches with remaining
bread slices, pressing lightly to make them adhere.
Spread some of the mayonnaise around the
outside rim of each sandwich round. Roll the rim of each sandwich in the
chives or parsley to coat completely.
Serve immediately or cover and refrigerator
for a few hours.
Making
Sandwiches Ahead of Time - If you need to make tea sandwiches in
advance and need to keep them from drying out, cover them loosely with a
sheet of wax paper and then place a damp kitchen towel over the wax paper
(never place a damp towel directly on top of the bread because the
sandwiches will become soggy. Refrigerate until serving time. When ready to
serve, remove from refrigerator. Uncover sandwiches only just before
serving.
Makes 16 sandwich rounds.
