Ingredients

Peanut Butter and Jelly Tea Sandwiches

  • 4 slices soft sandwich bread (whole wheat or white)
  • 1/4 cup peanut butter
  • 1/4 cup jelly or jam

Nutella and Raspberry Tea Sandwiches

  • 4 slices soft sandwich bread (whole wheat or white)
  • 1/4 cup Nutella (or other hazelnut chocolate spread)
  • 1 cup raspberries, lightly mashed

Goat Cheese and Cucumber Tea Sandwiches

  • 4 slices soft sandwich bread (whole wheat or white)
  • 1/4 cup herbed goat cheese
  • 1 cup thinly sliced cucumber

Cucumber and Cream Cheese Tea Sandwiches

  • 4 slices soft sandwich bread (whole wheat or white)
  • 1/4 cup cream cheese
  • 1 cup thinly sliced cucumber

Hummus and Carrots Tea Sandwiches

  • 4 slices soft sandwich bread (whole wheat or white)
  • 1/4 cup hummus
  • 1/2 cup shredded carrot

Egg and Butter Tea Sandwiches

  • 4 slices soft sandwich bread (whole wheat or white)
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (or mayo or avocado)
  • 2 hard-cooked eggs (peeled and sliced)

Instructions

  • Place the bread onto a cutting board. Use a 3- to 4-inch round cookie cutter to cut circles from the bread. (If the bread is at all stale, warm for 5 seconds in the microwave.) Set aside the rounds in pairs of two for each sandwich.
  • Add a thin layer of the spread to the bread on one side of each pair of rounds.
  • Add a thin layer of the filling (such as the cucumber, raspberries, or egg, depending) on top. For the peanut butter and jelly, add the jelly to the second piece.
  • Sandwich the rounds of bread together, pressing slightly. Serve with tea of choice (we usually do a little honey in warm water or chamomile.)

Notes

  • Use soft wheat or white bread for these finger sandwiches.
  • Choose one flavor to make or include a mix.
  • Use sunflower butter in place of the peanut butter if there are any allergy concerns, or use just jam.
  • Use a round cookie cutter to make the round sandwiches, or use the full slices of bread and simply cut into quarters or triangles.
  • Save any leftover crusts for Baked French Toast.
