How to Make Strawberry Tea Sandwiches
- Spread one side of each slice of bread with strawberry cream cheese.
- Cut crust off all four sides. Then cut into four squares.
- Layer 2 squares with a sliced strawberry.
- Top with remaining squares to make tea sandwiches.
- Repeat until you’ve reached desired number of sandwiches.
My Best Tips:
- Use Any Flavor Cream Cheese – You can use any flavor of cream cheese you’d like.
- Use Any Fresh Fruit – You can also use any combination of fresh fruit.
- Cut into Fun Shapes – For holidays like Valentine’s Day or Mother’s Day, you can use a cookie cutter to cut heart shapes out of the sandwiches!
- Make Sure to Store Covered – Keep covered so the bread doesn’t dry out.
- Thoroughly Dry Strawberries – Lightly blot sliced strawberries with a paper towel to remove excess juice and help keep the bread fresh.
- Spread Filling Edge to Edge – A full layer of cream cheese creates a moisture barrier that helps protect the bread from the strawberries.
