Cream cheese sandwich bites make for a quick and tasty snack for kids and adults alike. Plus these can be easily customized to suit your needs. Perfect for parties, gatherings or potlucks!
Hi everyone!
It’s been a while since I last blogged. I had a lot of things going around, which included shopping gifts for our relatives in India. It had been a year and a half since we last visited. We also visited London, for my Brother in law’s daughter’s christening. I also happen to be her Godmother, so I wanted to meet that little bundle of joy. Such a sweet munchkin she is!! Miss her already 🙁
After a lot of thought and weighing out the pros and cons, I switched to a self-hosted site. Not knowing what I was getting myself into. There are a lot of issues yet to be resolved, it’s like a never-ending chore. Amidst my vacation, with practically no time for the blog settings, it felt like forever!! I’ve missed all your posts and hope to catch up soon 🙂
Wow, it’s extremely humid here in Mumbai, and the change in weather is quite exhausting. I just hope the Rain God’s are generous with the monsoons this time here!
Today I have a very simple and quick snack to share with you guys! Cream cheese sandwich bites with a twist of sweet chili sauce in it. I love that sauce, and love the subtle sweet-spicy flavor it lends to these sandwiches along with the crunch from the veggies for some texture. These are so good as a snack/appetizer to serve at a party, I assure you these will be gone in no time.
You can also serve this as a cream cheese dip instead along with some chips, crackers, vegetable sticks etc. Or grill it and enjoy as a grilled cream cheese sandwich.
For a healthier version or cream cheese alternative, simply replace cream cheese with Greek yogurt/hung curd in this recipe. If you don’t mind the calories, use mayonnaise instead :p
This a small batch recipe, since I made it just for us. You can easily multiply this recipe for a large crowd.
These are good as it is, but you can increase the flavor by using coriander chutney/pesto or any other spread on one slice of bread. Feel free to use whatever veggies you have at hand.
