Mini Cucumber Tea Sandwiches

Spring gatherings are the perfect time to serve these Mini Cucumber Tea Sandwiches!

If I had a home with a large garden, I’d have garden parties and serve these Mini Cucumber Tea Sandwiches at every single one! Instead, I just make them whenever I’m in the mood. It just so happens that the mood always hits me come Spring!

I just love how light and fresh they are. Cucumber is one of those flavors that just defines “fresh.” Add in fresh herbs and garlic and these little tea sandwiches are irresistible!

If you don’t regularly throw garden parties either, these cute little bites are also perfect at birthdays, showers, Easter, and just anytime finger food is called for! It doesn’t hurt that they are super simple to make.

This recipe is yet another “quick and easy” one for ya! If you’re looking for a low carb and/or gluten free option, check out my recipe for Low Carb Mini Cucumber Bites!

Mini Cucumber Tea Sandwiches

Prep!

You will want to set your cream cheese out ahead of time so that it can come to room temperature before you begin.

Slice the cucumber into ten 1/4-inch slices, then in half.

Mince the chives, basil. parsley, and garlic.

Create!

In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, minced herbs, and garlic.  Smash everything together with a fork until it’s all well combined. Set aside.

Slice the crust off of the slices of bread so that you have perfect squares. Then, cut the squares into quarters so that you have 4 equal pieces from each slice of bread.

Spread the cream cheese mixture onto each of the slices of bread.

Add a piece of cucumber, and top with another slice of bread.

Present!

You can keep tea sandwiches simple, or get pretty creative.  You can add fancy toothpicks to each once, or use cookie cutters to cut the bread into different shapes.

I usually keep them simple, but then again, I’m usually just making them for myself – ha!
