Ile de France ® Brie, Roast Beef, and Watercress Tea Sandwich by Kathy Gunst

Description

This combination of creamy Ile de France Brie, flavorful roast beef and tart watercress creates a wonderfully light, refreshing Spring sandwich. To complete this authentic tea sandwich, cut off the crusts and serve with a light red wine (such as Pinot Noir) or a tall glass of iced tea with sprigs of fresh mint. The sandwich can also be served whole (with crusts on) as an individual serving.
