Kentucky-style Benedictine Tea Sandwiches
Benedictine is a fluffy mixture of cream cheese, chives, cucumber and seasonings, and mayonnaise makes it extra creamy and flavorful. It’s a must at Kentucky Derby parties, tea parties and picnics. Use it to make finger sandwiches, spread it on a toasted bagel, add a layer of it on avocado toast, or serve it as a dip with crackers and crudités.
