15 Fabulous Tea Party Sandwich Recipes

Submitted by nicole on Fri, 02/27/2015 - 12:37

Planning a tea party?  No tea party would be complete without dainty tea sandwiches!  Here's a collection of fifteen fabulous tea party sandwich recipes for you to try.

Tea sandwiches are incredibly easy to make.  If you can make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, you can make tiny tea sandwiches for your very own afternoon tea.

Start with a loaf of white bread, and cut off the crusts.  You know it's fancy, because there are no crusts.  ;-)

Then it's time to start having fun with flavors!  One of my favorites is brie and apple.  I use my mandoline slicer [1] to get perfect cuts of my apple.  Be insanely careful when using a mandoline, though!  That blade is crazy sharp, and it's easy to get going and get your fingers dangerously close to the blade.  I'm thinking of ordering these teflon cut-proof gloves [2] to use when working with my mandoline.  Anyone have any experience with them?

To assemble the sandwich, I like to cut my apple slices in half, and place the flat edges at the sides of the square of bread.  That way I get full coverage, and no apple-free zones.

Another absolute classic tea sandwich is one made with cucumber and cream cheese.  I love using an herbed cream cheese [3] to give the sandwich some extra flavor.  

It's pretty just like this, isn't it?  It kind of makes me want to make this sandwich an open-face sandwich.  But that's not the classic tea-party way.

I always make a tea sandwich with mascarpone cheese (a slightly sweet Italian spreadable cheese), fig spread, and prosciutto.  The salty and sweet combination is phenomenal.  

When you're done assembling the sandwiches, use a sharp knife to cut each square sandwich into four tiny triangles.  Just right for tea party finger food.  

Need some more ideas?  Here are some tea party sandwiches I love:

  • cream cheese, dill, and smoked salmon
  • roast beef, horseradish sauce, and pea sprouts
  • olive tapanade
  • date nut bread and strawberry cream cheese [4]
  • bacon, arugula, fresh mozzarella, and tomato
  • bacon and brie
  • crab salad
  • egg salad
  • goat cheese and roasted red peppers
  • mascarpone and orange marmalade
  • blue cheese spread  (whip blue cheese and cream cheese together) and layer with chopped dates
  • feta spread [5], olives, and sun-dried tomatoes
