Easy Strawberry Tea Sandwiches
Ingredients:
- 6 slices of fresh white bread (or bread of your choice)
- 12-14 ounces of strawberry cream cheese (softened to room temperature)
- 6-8 fresh strawberries
Instructions:
- Prep: Spread one side of each slice of bread with cream cheese. Use a 3-inch heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut two hearts out of each slice of bread. (Note: Save the scraps for snacking.)
- Assembly: Thinly slice the strawberries. For open-faced sandwiches, top all 12 hearts with strawberry slices. For closed-faced sandwiches, top 6 hearts with strawberry slices, then cover each with the remaining 6 hearts.
- To Serve: Serve immediately for the best taste and freshness.
Notes:
- No Cookie Cutter? If you do not have a cookie cutter, simply trim the crusts off the bread and slice each piece in half diagonally, then in half again to form small triangles.
- Make Ahead: If you need to prepare these sandwiches in advance, they can be assembled up to one day before serving. Wrap them in parchment and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. If the strawberries are very juicy, you might want to wait and add them just before serving to avoid soggy sandwiches.
