Harlequin Sandwiches

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Bake all bread varieties to the same size and remove the crusts.

  2. Slice each loaf lengthwise into ½ inch slices.

  3. Spread each slice and alternate layers of white and brown bread, pressing firmly together.

  4. Cut the assembled bread into ¼ inch slices.

  5. Spread the sandwich mixture on two ribbon slices and press them together.

  6. For a checker slice, alternate buttered ribbon bread slices on top, ensuring every other slice forms checkers.

  7. Cut down to create checker slices, and serve on a thin plain slice of bread.
