A New Way to Celebrate Valentine’s Day

  > Ham and Swiss cheese with herbed mayonnaise.

  > Poached chicken breast, sliced thin, topped with crumbled bacon; spread bread with tarragon butter (butter, tarragon, and a dash of fresh lemon juice).

  > Cream cheese blended with apricot preserves (3 to 1 ratio), topped with toasted chopped pecans.

Open face or not, as you like. And cut each full sandwich into smaller sizes — fingers (three vertical cuts) or triangles (two diagonal cuts). Make ahead, cover with plastic wrap.
