Tea Sandwich Recipes

Tea sandwich recipes are a treasure to have on hand when you are planning a child's tea party or a ladies tea party! There are tons of afternoon tea sandwiches to choose from: savory, sweet, meat and veggie! The list could go on, and will as this site grows.

Next to the tea, the tea sandwiches you choose for your tea party menu are of the utmost importance.

In general, tea sandwiches are light and delicate in appearance, but bold on taste. (The only exceptions here are for children's tea parties, where PB&J and Ham and Cheese sandwiches are acceptable. Most kids do not like spicy or bold flavors.)

This isn't to say that all tea sandwiches are overly seasoned, just well seasoned. ;-)

General Directions For Afternoon Tea Sanwiches

All of your breads should be spread with butter or cream cheese to prevent your sandwiches from getting soggy, then add the fillings.

Trim the crusts off, then cut into quarters diagonally to form triangles, or thirds for finger sandwiches.

Some sandwiches can be made the evening before your event, but most are best if you make them an hour or so ahead. Experimenting is best for this to know if your fillings make your bread soggy of if your bread seems to get stale being in the fridge all night.
