Have you ever been to a tea house and had their little tea sandwiches? I have some super easy Cucumber Tea Sandwiches for your next tea event.
I like to have 3 different sandwiches on a plate when I serve tea or have a get together with friends. Visit my full Afternoon Tea Page.
My first is usually a cucumber dill sandwich. I take white bread and cut it in a circle with a cookie cutter. Then I add some butter and softened cream cheese and spread it on the bread. I take thinly sliced cucumbers and place on top and add some fresh dill.
My second sandwich is a Tomato and pesto sandwich. I take mini bread from the bakery section of the store. They usually are in small 2 in squares and I buy rye bread. I make pesto sauce and spread on top. Then slice cherry tomatoes and put on top with a slice of green olive.
The third is usually a variation of my quiche. I choose different ingredients depending on what I might be serving. I may also add a crust to the quiche depending on how hearty I want the meal.

Ohhh! I love cucumbers! I will have to try this! Thank you!
Yum, I adore cucumber sandwiches! It is one of my favorite things to eat during the summer. Never used dill, though. Will definitely have to try it!
Wow, I haven’t had these in years and of course I am now craving them.
found this on Cook it! Craft it! Share it!
I have never had a cucumber tea sandwich but they all look good! I especially love anything with pesto on it!
I’ve never been to a tea house or a tea party. Definitely something I need to do with my dd8 who I think would enjoy the experience.
I love cucumber sandwiches. These are really cute.
I love tea sandwiches – I’ve never tried pesto in a sandwich before, but it just makes sense!
Thanks for linking up to the Party in the Kids Kitchen – hope to see you this Thursday!
I love tea parties! I’m having one this weekend and will surely serve cucumber sandwiches. I never thought of using cream cheese on a cucumber sandwich. Very pretty presentation.
