1 Strawberry Cream Cheese
I love strawberry flavored anything, so I am always excited when a new dessert is introduced to the market. If you are also a strawberry lover then you will love these strawberries cream cheese tea sandwiches. The best part about it is that all of the ingredients are simple which makes them incredibly easy to make. There really is no need for complicated baking instructions because they don't take any longer than just "spread and slice".The prefect sweet and savory sandwich for anyone with Diabetic, Gluten Free, or allergy concerns. Just choose the bread that's best for you.
2 Variety of Tea Sandwiches Arranged on the Tray
This tray of tea sandwiches has many kinds of spreads, including egg salad, tuna salad, cream cheese and honey with raisins, pimento cheese with bacon and more. The sandwiches range in size and flavor.The types of sandwiches range from simple to unique. For example, there is a sandwich that uses pork tenderloin instead of bread, and it has a spicy mustard spread. The traditional chicken salad sandwich has been given an "adult" flavor with a sprinkle of pepper on the egg salad.Pimento cheese is one of my favorites, and I have found that cutting the sandwiches into squares makes them easier to handle when eating. With all the different flavors, it's almost impossible not to find something you like in this collection.
3 Lemony Cucumber Cream Cheese
Lemony Cucumber Cream Cheese Tea Sandwiches is a delightful dish if you're looking for something light, refreshing, and easy to prepare.
I've seen recipes for this dish that call for fresh chunks of cucumbers and herbs, cream cheese and lemon juice. Personally I love the idea of combining these flavors because they taste so good together! I love using the fresh cucumber in this recipe. Cucumbers are full of water and nutrients, and they help balance the acidity from both the lemon juice and cream cheese. They also have a refreshing feel that is perfect for a hot summer's day!
The herb called for in this recipe is dill. Dill may sound like it would be too strong, but it blends with the other flavors perfectly and doesn't overpower them.

I'm not sure the exact origin of the tea sandwich, but it seems that Queen Anna, the good wife of King George II, may have introduced them to British society. There are other accounts that say this snack was served in colonial America and Britain as early as the 17th century. The most popular filling for a tea sandwich is cucumber and cream cheese with some dry or sweet bread, but other popular fillings are smoked salmon, ham with mustard or horseradish sauce, egg salad or chicken salad.
