Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 225 grams Goat cheese
- 60 grams Cream cheese (softened)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh chives (chopped)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill (chopped)
- 1 teaspoon Lemon zest
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 12 slices Slices of white or whole wheat sandwich bread (crusts removed)
- 1 medium Cucumber (thinly sliced)
- 1 cup Microgreens or arugula
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the goat cheese, cream cheese, chives, parsley, dill, lemon zest, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until smooth and evenly incorporated.
Lay out the slices of bread on a clean work surface. Spread a generous layer of the herbed goat cheese mixture onto each slice of bread.
On half of the bread slices, layer thin slices of cucumber. Top with a sprinkle of microgreens or arugula for added freshness.
Place the remaining slices of bread, herbed goat cheese side down, over the cucumber and microgreens to form sandwiches.
Using a sharp knife, cut each sandwich into 2 or 4 smaller pieces, depending on your preference, creating neat rectangles or triangles.
Arrange the tea sandwiches on a serving platter and garnish with extra herbs if desired.
Serve immediately or cover with a slightly damp paper towel and plastic wrap to keep fresh until ready to serve, up to 2 hours.
