Cucumber Tea Sandwiches

I recently hosted a Little Women Movie Night for a big group of friends, complete with period food and decor, and these Cucumber Tea Sandwiches were a must on the party menu!

These dainty little sandwiches, made with just a few simple ingredients, are a classic appetizer that is perfect for any lady-like occasion, such as an Easter or Mother’s Day brunch. Or a movie night with girlfriends.

Although it may surprise you to learn that the biggest fan of these cucumber sandwiches was my husband! He ate so many I was afraid there wouldn’t be enough left for the party.

These sandwiches are a perfect vegetarian option for entertaining too–although they are loved by everyone who tries them.

And they’re so pretty, and refreshing to eat. You really can’t go wrong serving these cool, savory morsels, no matter what the occasion.

Pepperidge Farm Very Thin Sandwich Bread is definitely the best option for making these tea sandwiches. Of course, any kind of sliced bread will work, but for the prettiest, tastiest cucumber sandwiches, I do recommend something that’s sliced thin.

Thinly sliced cucumbers are also a must in these sandwiches. You can slice by hand, but this is one of those times when a mandolin comes in really handy.

You’ll be able to slice an entire cucumber in no time. Just be careful of that sharp blade! Of course, whether you cut your sandwiches into triangles or squares is entirely up to you.

Fresh dill, chives and parsley are my favorite herbs to use in this recipe, but feel free to adjust and substitute whatever you have on hand. I find these taste best when served the day they’re made, although you can get away with making them one day ahead.

These easy-to-make Cucumber Tea Sandwiches are so tasty, and they’re the perfect thing to make when you’re entertaining and want to serve something classy and elegant.
