Instructions
- Tail the asparagus and steam until just tender.
- Mix the cream cheese, paprika, nuts, salt and pepper and herbs in a bowl until smooth and creamy.
- Using a cookie cutter, cutter cut out rounds from bread.
- Then with a rolling pin, roll each round so it’s about 1/8 inch thick.
- Spread about a teaspoon of the cream cheese mixture over each bread circle.
- Place the carrot stick so it peeps out of the top, and the asparagus spear so it pokes out of the bottom. Fold the bread over to seal.
- Voila! You have a lily sandwich.
