There's something delightfully old-fashioned and charming about tea sandwiches. They're perfect little party bites, and when I eat them I can't help but visualize a ladies brunch in the 50s where everyone is wearing a floral pattern.
I made this Southern Living version as an appetizer for Easter. Yes, I'm that behind on blogging recipes! These were soooo tasty. I think I ate at least 4, and when making them I devoured every morsel I trimmed off the sandwiches. This would be perfect for a party or shower, so keep this in mind as you entertain this summer!
Cucumber and Strawberry Tea Sandwiches
Ingredients:
1
(8-oz.) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup
peeled, seeded, and finely chopped cucumber
1/3 cup
mayonnaise
1/4 cup
minced red onion
3 tablespoons
finely chopped fresh basil
1/2 teaspoon
freshly ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon
salt
Stir together softened cream cheese, cucumber, mayonnaise, red onion, basil, freshly ground pepper, and salt.
Spread on white bread, layer sandwich with diced fresh strawberries. Slice edges off of bread and cut into triangles.
I like to freeze my bread first so that it's easier to handle. I also keep the bread (while I'm working) and sandwiches under a damp paper towel to keep them fresh.
Enjoy!
