Tea sandwiches are usually made with plain white bread, but it is totally fine to use brown or wholewheat bread as long as they are soft.

• Spread the mixture on one side of each sandwich bread.
• Pat dry the cucumber with kitchen towel. Layer the sandwiches with the sliced cucumbers. Then top with the remaining sandwich bread.
  
• Cutting the sandwiches:

  Option 1:

  Cut off the crusts of your sandwiches. Then cut the sandwiches in quarters. (see note 1)

  Option 2:

  Cut the sandwiches in two diagonally.

Notities

Note 1:

Cut the crusts off if you are making high tea sandwiches. This will make your sandwiches look delicate and easier to eat.

Note 2:

I use Greek yoghurt for this recipe for a healthier twist. If you like a thicker consistency, feel free to use cream cheese instead.
