I have to say that I am not a dainty tea kind of girl. But one afternoon I went to The Four Seasons for high tea with Wendy from La Phemme Phoodie. We had a great time and the tea, sandwiches and mini pastries were delicious. I definitely would like to go back however it is not in my budget to go too often. In the meantime, I had a craving for some tea sandwiches so one day for lunch I decided to make smoked salmon sandwiches with cream cheese and cucumbers.They were easy and delicious. These sandwiches would be a great addition to a brunch. I didn't give any exact measurements in the recipe because everyone likes the filling a little different. I prefer my sandwiches light on the cream cheese but spread on as much or as less as you want.
I also want to congratulate Patricia who is the Walmart gift card winner! Please email me your address and I will get the prize out to you.
Have a great weekend everyone! I am off the the Big Summer Potluck blogger conference and will be back next week. I am sure I will have lots to write about.
Smoked Salmon Tea Sandwiches
cream cheese, softened
white bread with the crusts cut off
English cucumber, sliced very thin
smoked salmon or lox
Spread a thin layer of cream cheese on slices of bread. Top with slices of cucumbers and salmon. Top with another slice of bread. Cut into desired shapes.
There's something about cream cheese and lox that screams for cucumber. I've eaten it like that all my life (on a bagel, of course :-).
I also like adding thinly sliced sweet onion.
Have you ever tried it with pressed cottage cheese? It may not work as well in a tea sandwich since it's more difficult to spread, but it tastes great.
Now that is a sophisticated simple sandwich.
I don't like salmon so I make this sandwich with radishes instead of salmon. Love it!
I love this kind of sandwich, even though I, too, am not exactly a dainty kind of gal. Have fun at the conference!
Whenever I am at a tea party the smoked salmon is the first sandwich I reach for...love 🙂
how fun and fancy!
I've never had smoked salmon or lox .... am I deprived?
I love tea sandwiches! Let's find a tea room near us or go to the one in Mantua. Can't wait to hear about your trip 🙂
We plan on smoking our own salmon this summer & you know we'll be making some sandwiches.
I usually eat sandwiches after my afternoon nap. I have never tried salmon sandwich but now I have changed my mind. It seems like a great tea-time dish. Thanks.
My whole family would love these! they're the perfect tea sandwich!!!
These look like perfect little sandwiches! YUM!
