Carrot Tea Sandwiches with Garlic and Cheese
Description
Carrot Tea Sandwiches with Garlic and Cheese use tender boiled carrots grated finely and mixed with grated Colby jack cheese, freshly pressed garlic, and creamy mayonnaise. The blending of these ingredients produces a spread that balances sweet earthiness from the carrots, mild richness from the cheese, and a sharp garlicky kick. Slices of baguette and fresh tomato build the sandwiches, adding a crisp bite and juicy brightness.
The carrots are cooked just until tender to maintain moisture without becoming mushy. Grating cold carrots preserves texture and makes for easy mixing. The mayonnaise binds the mixture smoothly, and the garlic elevates the overall flavor without overpowering.
Chilling the assembled sandwiches until serving helps the flavors meld and keeps the bread from getting soggy. These sandwiches can be served at tea time, as light finger food during gatherings, or a simple lunch option.
Ingredients
- 2 carrot large
- 8 oz Colby jack cheese
- 4 garlic large cloves
- 2 tbsp mayonnaise
- 2 tomato large
- 1 baguette
Instructions
- In a large pot, bring about 5 cups of water to a boil. Place whole carrots into the water, cooking just until they are easily pierced through with a fork. Drain the carrots from the water and cool them at room temperature. Once completely cooled, grate the carrots on the largest side of a cheese grater into a large mixing bowl.
- Add grated cheese, pressed garlic, and mayonnaise to the mixing bowl with the grated carrots. Stir to combine.
- Slice baguette and tomatoes into thin slices.
- Assemble the sandwiches by placing a piece of tomato on the bread, followed by a spoonful of the creamy carrot mixture. Keep refrigerated until you're ready to serve. Enjoy!
