    1. 1

      Spread the cream cheese mixture on the 8 slices of bread and place the ham on top of Divide the watercress into small sprigs and place on top.

    I can't believe I forgot to review these! I made this for as a snack for football game. The whole plate was gone in a matter of minutes! I used a multigrain bread with nuts and seeds. This has become one of my favorite little sandwiches!
