Description
Cucumber Tea Sandwiches are a refreshing and light treat, perfect for afternoon tea or as an appetizer. These delicate sandwiches combine creamy, herb-infused cream cheese with crisp cucumber slices, served atop soft white bread.
Ingredients
Scale
8 slices white sandwich bread
4 oz cream cheese
softened
1 tbsp fresh dill
finely chopped
1 English cucumber
thinly sliced
1/8 tsp salt
Pinch black pepper (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, fresh dill, salt, and black pepper (if using). Mix until smooth.
- Lay out 4 slices of the bread and spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture on each slice.
- Top each slice with a layer of thinly sliced cucumber.
- Place the remaining slices of bread on top and gently press down. Cut each sandwich into quarters or halves, as desired.
