Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Soft white or whole wheat bread
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese (softened)
- 1 medium Cucumber (thinly sliced)
- 1 small Carrot (grated)
- 3 medium Radishes (thinly sliced)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill or parsley (chopped)
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Butter (optional, softened)
Instructions
Lay the slices of bread on a clean work surface. If desired, spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each slice to prevent them from becoming soggy.
In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese with the chopped fresh dill or parsley, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Spread an even layer of the cream cheese mixture onto one side of each piece of bread.
Layer the thinly sliced cucumbers, grated carrots, and sliced radishes evenly over four of the bread slices, pressing lightly so the vegetables adhere to the cream cheese.
Top each vegetable-layered slice with another slice of bread (cream cheese side down) to make sandwiches.
Using a sharp knife, trim the crusts off each sandwich to create neat edges. Then, cut each sandwich into quarters, either into rectangles or triangles.
Arrange the prepared tea sandwiches on a serving platter and serve immediately, or cover with a damp paper towel and plastic wrap to keep fresh until ready to serve.
