Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 225 grams Cream cheese
- 1 medium Carrot
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 8 slices Whole grain or white sandwich bread
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (optional, for spreading)
Instructions
Grate the carrot on the fine side of a box grater and set it aside.
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cream cheese, grated carrot, fresh dill, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and creamy.
Lay out the slices of bread on a flat surface. If desired, lightly spread unsalted butter on one side of each slice to prevent the spread from soaking into the bread and to enhance flavor.
Spread an even layer of the carrot and cream cheese mixture onto 4 slices of bread.
Top with the remaining bread slices to form sandwiches.
Using a sharp knife, trim the crusts off the sandwiches for a traditional tea sandwich look.
Cut each sandwich into quarters, either diagonally into triangles or into squares, depending on your preference.
Arrange the tea sandwiches on a serving platter and serve immediately, or cover with a slightly damp paper towel and plastic wrap to keep them fresh until serving.
