32 Easy Vegetarian Appetizers: Mini Grilled Cream Cheese Sandwiches with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
by eatwell101
Yield: 16 servings Prep Time: 20 min Cook time: 12 min
These mini grilled cheese sandwiches are a great appetizer for parties, potlucks, or get-togethers!
Ingredients you need for the Mini Grilled Cream Cheese Sandwiches with Sun-Dried Tomatoes
Directions
1. To make the mini grilled cheese sandwiches: Preheat your oven to 400ºF (200ºC). Start by trimming off the outer crust of the bread slices using a sharp knife. Lightly toast the slices in your toaster so they won’t break apart when spreading the filling.
2. In a bowl, combine cream cheese, chopped sundried tomatoes, and black pepper until smooth. You can also use a food processor.
3. Spread the cream cheese mixture onto half the toasted bread slices, then top with another slice. Transfer the mini sandwiches to a baking sheet.
4. Sprinkle the mini grilled cheeses with grated parmesan, then put the baking sheet in the oven for 2 to 3 minutes until the cheese is melted and golden. Remove the mini grilled cheese sandwiches from the oven and cool down for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy! ❤️
