Finger Sandwich Recipes to Try
Even if you skip the tea, these sandwiches are fun for any meal!
Cheddar & Chutney
Sharp cheddar and sweet chutney create a perfect sweet-savory balance that’s super satisfying. This is really good with apple or pumpkin butter too!

This Caprese-inspired combo brings fresh flavor and color to the table. It is great for summer tea parties in the garden! Swap out the fresh mozzarella for cream cheese mixed with Italian Seasoning!
