These delightful Strawberry Tea Sandwiches are a perfect light treat combining soft white bread, creamy plain cream cheese, and fresh thinly sliced strawberries. They are easy to prepare and ideal for afternoon tea or a simple snack, offering a fresh, sweet, and creamy flavor in every bite.

Ingredients

Sandwiches

  • 4 slices white bread
  • 3–4 tablespoons plain cream cheese
  • 4 medium-sized strawberries, thinly sliced

Instructions

  1. Prepare the bread: Lay out 4 slices of white bread on a clean surface to begin assembling the sandwiches.
  2. Spread cream cheese: Evenly spread about 1 tablespoon of plain cream cheese over each slice of bread to create a creamy base layer.
  3. Prepare strawberries: Thinly slice 4 medium-sized strawberries, then use a paper towel to pat them gently to remove excess moisture, preventing sogginess in the sandwiches.
  4. Assemble sandwiches: Place the thinly sliced strawberries evenly over two of the cream cheese-covered bread slices. Then, top each with the remaining two slices of bread, cream cheese side down, to form sandwiches.
  5. Trim and cut: Using a serrated knife, carefully cut off the crusts from each sandwich. Then slice each sandwich into three equal rectangles or your preferred shape, resulting in 6 finger sandwiches total.
  6. Serve and enjoy: Arrange the strawberry tea sandwiches on a plate and enjoy immediately for the best flavor and freshness.

Notes

  • Patting the strawberries dry is essential to keep the bread from becoming soggy.
  • Use a serrated knife for clean, even cuts without squishing the sandwiches.
  • These sandwiches are best served fresh but can be refrigerated for up to 2 hours if needed.
  • You can substitute cream cheese with a flavored cream cheese for a twist, such as honey or vanilla.
  • For a gluten-free option, use gluten-free sandwich bread.
