This sandwich is a little bit out there, but in a nice way. It is sweet and hearty with a little crunch and a lot of holiday flavour. This was created especially for the Craze-E contest and I hope its not too crazy for you to try. ;)

Ingredients:

4 tablespoons cream cheese (low-fat is fine)

1 tablespoon brown sugar (i used half dark and half light brown sugar)

3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1/8 teaspoon ground allspice

1 pinch ground cloves

1 pinch ground ginger

2 pinches chili powder

1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 tablespoon pistachios, chopped finely

8 slices dark rye bread or 8 slices other whole wheat bread

4 slices havarti cheese (one slice should be the size of your bread slice, otherwise use two)

4 tablespoons strawberry jam

Directions:

1. Prepare the spiced cream cheese by combining all of the ingredients in a bowl and stirring until well blended.
2. When youre ready for assembly spread cream cheese on 4 of the bread slices. You can add as much as you like, but Id recommend about 1 tbs per slice. Top with a slice of havarti cheese.
3. On top of the cheese put about 1 tbs of strawberry jam and spread it a bit. Finish your sandwich by topping it with the second slice of bread pressing down a bit. Enjoy!
