Tramezzini
13 people added this to their Recipe Box
These triangular sandwiches are eaten all over the Veneto region as an afternoon snack or as cicchetti (the Venetian version of tapas) with a glass of prosecco. The thin crustless sandwiches filled with colourful creamy fillings are made on a dense soft white bread; sliced potato bread is a good Canadian substitute.
