1 pound loaf unsliced white bread (or 2 smaller loaves)
1/2 cup butter
16 ounces cream cheese, softened
2 tablespoons chives, chopped
1/4 cup chopped salad burnet leaves
1/4 cup milk or cream
lettuce
Trim the crust from loaves and cut bread into 1/2 inch slices. Mix together cream cheese, butter, and milk. Add burnet and chives. Lightly spread mix on one side of each slice of bread. Top with pieces of lettuce and put two slices together. Wrap all with foil until time to serve, and cut into four squares or triangles.
"Once fire was discovered, the instinct for improvement made men bring food to it. First to dry it, then to put it on the coals to cook."
Jean-Anthelme Brillat-Savarin (1755-1826)
Cottage cheese is the fresh drained curds of slightly soured, low fat pasteurized milk. When the curds are drained, the cheese is called cottage cheese; allow the curds to drain longer and it is called pot cheese. Press the remaining moisture out so it becomes drier and crumbly, and it is called farmer's cheese.
