Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 113 grams Unsalted butter (softened)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh tarragon (finely chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Sun-dried tomatoes (minced)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 8 slices White sandwich bread (crusts removed)
- 8 pieces Cherry tomatoes (thinly sliced)
- 0.5 cup Microgreens (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, chopped tarragon, minced sun-dried tomatoes, lemon zest, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix thoroughly until smooth and well combined.
Lay out the slices of white sandwich bread on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the tarragon and tomato butter evenly over each slice.
Place thin slices of cherry tomato on 4 of the buttered slices of bread, distributing them evenly.
If using, sprinkle a small handful of microgreens over the tomatoes for added texture and flavor.
Top the prepared slices with the remaining pieces of bread, buttered side down, to form sandwiches.
Using a sharp knife, carefully cut each sandwich into four neat squares or triangles, depending on your preference.
Arrange the tea sandwiches on a serving platter and serve immediately, or cover with a damp paper towel and plastic wrap to keep them fresh until ready to serve.
