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.

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.
