Kanapki (Polish Open-Faced Sandwiches or Canapés)

*Keep in mind that the ingredient amounts are suggestions. You just need one slice of each item for each sandwich that you’d like to make. It’s easy to make 2 or 20 with a little assembly line!*

Slice French bread into 3/4″ slices (make as many as you like, we generally figure 3-5 sandwiches per person) and lay flat. Spread a very thin layer of butter on each slice, followed by a thin layer of cream cheese.

Prepare the kielbasa by cutting the link into manageable pieces and removing the outer casing. If you buy the pre-cooked smoked kielbasa, the skins should come off fairly easily. Slice the kielbasa into thin rounds.

For each sandwich, layer one slice of deli ham followed by one slice each of kielbasa, cucumber, hard boiled egg, pickle chips, and tomato. Sprinkle each sandwich with the finely chopped onion and top with chopped fresh dill.
