sticks, green pepper strips, etc. may be used.) Roll up like a jelly

4 hours. Slice. Rolled sandwiches which have been sliced may be toasted
under the broiler, if desired, depending on filling used.

Spread softened butter on 2 slices of white bread and 2 slices of whole
wheat bread. Spread 3 slices with desired fillings, and place one on top
of the other in the form of a loaf, alternating dark and white slices.
Top with remaining slice. Wrap tightly in wax paper or sandwich wrap.
Refrigerate 3 to 4 hours. Slice in 1/2-inch slices, wedges or triangles.

butter and filling. Stack into 4 decker sandwiches, with the dark strips
above the light, and vice versa. Press together firmly. Wrap tightly in
wax paper or sandwich wrap. Refrigerate 2 hours. Cut each stack into
thin slices.
MOSAIC
SANDWICHES
Cut fancy shapes from white and whole wheat bread slices. Cut tiny
shapes with tiny cutters from the centers. Spread with softened butter
