Freshman Recipe Book: Hors D'Oeuvres Sandwich

During my winter hiatus, I stopped compiling recipes for my Freshman Recipe Book as well!  But just like your favorite TV shows are back for the spring session, these tantalizing treats are as well!  So enjoy, friends.

I call this recipe an "hors d'oeuvres sandwich" because the main ingredient seems more fitting for the garnish of an appetizer or on an antipasto platter rather than the bulk of a sandwich.  Now, this sandwich really isn't meant to be a meal, it's more of a snack that you whip up when you have to rush back from one class and sprint to another, and you don't have much time for a proper lunch that incorporates all the food groups.

That being said, you'll be shocked at how delicious this is, and how much you find yourself craving it weirdly on any random day.  It's so salty and creamy and good.  The main ingredient WILL shock you, but try it out, really!  This recipe is actually the brainchild of one of my high school friends, and I was put off by it as well, but it's worth a try.  For sure.  It's also no-cook and has only 3 ingredients!


What you'll need:
2 slices pumpernickel bread
Cream cheese, to taste
Pimento-stuffed olives

What you probably have already: a plate and a knife--so simple!

All you gotta do for this is spread the cream cheese over one of the slices the bread (toasted, preferably, but if that's not an option it's still good plain).  Then, cut the olives in any fashion, and scatter them over the cream cheese.  All of the measurements are to taste, so just have fun with it.  Now that was surprisingly tasty, huh?  Thought so.
