1. Classic Cucumber Tea Sandwiches

Nothing says “tea party” like a cucumber sandwich. These dainty little bites are refreshing, easy to make, and always a crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients:

  • Thin white bread (or rye for more flavor)
  • 1 English cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • Fresh dill (optional)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Start by mixing your cream cheese with a bit of chopped fresh dill, plus a pinch of salt and pepper. This adds flavor and keeps the spread from tasting too plain.
  2. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly onto two slices of bread.
  3. Layer one slice with very thin cucumber slices (use a mandoline slicer if you have one).
  4. Top with the second slice, press gently, and trim the crusts for a clean edge.
  5. Cut the sandwich into small triangles or rectangles for serving.

Optional Tip: Chill the assembled sandwiches for about 10–15 minutes before slicing for a neater finish.

2. Egg Salad Tea Sandwiches

Egg salad is a classic that’s perfect for brunch or shower events. This version is rich, creamy, and loaded with flavor, making it perfect on soft bread or mini croissants.

Ingredients:

  • 6 hard-boiled eggs, chopped
  • 2–3 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Paprika (optional)
  • Chopped fresh chives or dill

Instructions:

  1. In a bowl, mash the hard-boiled eggs with a fork or potato masher.
  2. Add in the mayo, mustard, herbs, and seasoning. Mix until creamy but still a bit chunky.
  3. Spread the egg salad on soft sandwich bread or scoop it into mini croissants.
  4. Trim crusts if desired and cut sandwiches into halves or thirds for smaller portions.

Serving Idea: Garnish the top with a small sprig of dill or a light sprinkle of paprika for color.

3. Strawberry Cream Tea Sandwiches

This sweet variation adds a lovely pop of color and fruity flavor to your sandwich spread. It’s perfect for spring or summer bridal showers.

Ingredients:

  • 4 oz cream cheese, softened
  • 1 tablespoon honey or strawberry jam
  • Fresh strawberries, thinly sliced
  • Soft white bread or brioche

Instructions:

  1. In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese with honey or strawberry jam until smooth.
  2. Spread the mixture generously onto one side of each slice of bread.
  3. Layer thin strawberry slices on top.
  4. Top with another slice of bread, trim the crusts, and cut into squares or use a heart-shaped cookie cutter for a whimsical touch.

Optional Tip: Chill before cutting to help keep the sandwich layers clean and tidy.

Presentation Tips

  • Use a variety of breads to create visual interest — think white, whole wheat, or even marble rye.
  • Cut sandwiches into different shapes — triangles, rectangles, or even hearts — for added charm.
  • Arrange on a tiered tray or floral platter to fit the bridal shower or brunch theme.
  • Add edible flowers, herbs, or fruit to your tray for a truly stunning display.

Final Thoughts

These three tea sandwiches are a must-have for your next bridal shower or brunch party. Not only are they simple to make, but they’re also guaranteed to impress your guests with their elegant look and delicious flavor.
