Baby Shower Finger Foods

The most popular finger food has to be the sandwich. They can be eaten with your hands, they are filling, and there are lots of options. I like to use a cut and seal sandwich press with mine. It cuts the crust off and seals them at the same time. Below are some popular sandwich recipes along with a few different ideas.

Egg Salad

Ingredients:
12 hardboiled eggs
6 tablespoons mayo
2 tablespoons mustard
2 tablespoons relish (I like to use half sweet and half dill)
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Chop up boiled eggs
Add all other ingredients and mix well. Spread on bread.

Chicken Salad

Ingredients:
2 large cooked chicken breasts (about 2 cups)
1/3 cup diced celery (about 2 stalks)
1/2 teaspoon sugar (optional)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
1/3 cup sweet pickle relish
1/2-2/3 cup mayonnaise
Directions:
Cut chicken into cubes, add remaining ingredients and mix well. Spread on bread of choice to make sandwiches.

Mini Meatball Sandwiches

Ingredients:
1 bag frozen meatballs
jar of marinara sauce of pizza sauce
dinner rolls
grated parmesean cheese
Directions:
Cook meatballs according to package directions. Cut dinner roll open vertically from the top to the middle (not all the way through). Put one or two meatballs (depending on the size) in the roll. Top with sauce and sprinkle with parmesean cheese.

Pepperoni and Cheese Sandwich Bites

Take slices of bread and roll thin with a rolling pin.
Layer slices of pepperoni along a slice of bread and top with mozzarella cheese. Brush lightly with Italian dressing, then add another layer of pepperoni. Top with another slice of bread.
Use small cookie cutters to cut shapes out of the sandwiches.
Cover tightly and keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

Cuban Sandwiches

Ingredients:
Loaf of Cuban bread or French bread
1/2 lb. thinly sliced ham
1/2 lb. thinly sliced pork roast
Dill pickle slices
1/2 lb. sliced Swiss cheese
Mayo and yellow mustard
Directions:
Slice the loaf of bread open horizontally and spread with mayo and mustard. Add slices of ham, pork roast, cheese and pickles. Top with other half of bread.
Cut into small sandwiches. 

Fancy Cucumber Sandwiches (recipe from Cooks.com)

Ingredients:
2 medium size cucumbers
1 tub whipped cream cheese spread
shaker of dill weed
1-2 packets of dry Italian dressing mix
1 pkg rye or wheat cocktail bread
Directions:
Wash cucumbers well. Using a fork, scrape down the cucumbers lengthwise leaving "stripes" all the way around. Slice the cucumbers into 1/4 inch slices or thinner. Set aside.
In a small bowl, stir together cream cheese and dressing mix; combine well.
Using a butter knife, spread the mixture onto the individual slices of small cocktail bread (cocktail bread might be found in your deli section rather than the bread aisle, it's just a miniature version of bread).
Next, lay one slice of cucumber in the middle of the bread. Once done, shake a small amount of the dill weed onto the cucumber slice. 
Just remember to cover them tightly because the bread will dry and the cucumbers will get wilted if left out too long. It's a good idea to do some preparation work the night before, but leave the slicing of the cucumbers and the assembly of the sandwiches for the last minute.
