Dainty Afternoon Tea Sandwiches

  • Serves 6

  • Preparation time:

  • Cooking time:

Ingredients

1 sliced brown loaf
Good quality salted butter

Fillings:
2 cucumbers from your garden
Cream cheese
Fresh dill
White pepper
White wine vinegar
6 eggs
A generous handful of mustard cress (* you can grow this quite easily from seeds in a window box)

Method

Filling 1:
Combine cream cheese and chopped dill in a bowl, season with white pepper. Peel and finely slice cucumbers, splash with a little vinegar.

Filling 2:

Hard boil the eggs (8 minutes please, in salted water, from cold). Peel, then set aside. When cool, mash gently with a fork, adding 3 tablespoons of mayonnaise. Season to taste.

Assemble your sandwiches carefully, remembering that less is more! Aim for pretty and neat- not giant messy mouthfuls. Cut each one into 4 triangles, and arrange delightfully on a bone china plate.
