Get ready for a party with these tea sandwiches! There was never a baby shower, bridal shower, or wedding reception that didn’t have these tea sandwiches. The combination of cheez whiz and ham doesn’t always sound appealing together but it is a soft and delicious flavor. They are so easy to make and have the perfect flavoring! Add cucumber slices and grapes for a beautiful presentation! Tea sandwiches can be made in a variety of ways! These sandwiches are small and perfect finger food to enjoy at any party. They are also simple to make and layered together to stick so nothing will fall out of them while walking around or mingling. You can make a variety of sandwiches as well using egg salad, chicken salad, or tuna as layers, just make sure you chop or process the ingredients up enough so it spreads easily.
Tea Sandwiches Ingredients
These are always a HUGE hit with my little girls and even my husband helped himself to a few and was pleasantly surprised by how good were. They are just so dainty and are perfect for little tea parties, showers, or birthdays. Plus, they are SUPER easy to make!
White bread – Pick your favorite white bread to slice and cut into strips. Usually, when I have had these in the past, the layers of bread are colored either pink, white, and green or pink, white, and orange, but obviously, they all taste exactly the same. I stuck with all-white bread for the sake of ease but by all means, if you want to go all out, make your own bread and dye them different colors! Deli ham – Slice the ham into small slices and pieces to fit perfectly over the bread without falling out. Mayonnaise – Spread the mayo mixture overtop the bread. Cheez Whiz – I know the Cheese Whiz sounds strange but it holds the sandwich together better than any other cheese.
How To Make Tea Sandwiches
Perhaps you’ve heard of these sandwiches by one of their other names. Ribbon Sandwiches or Finger Sandwiches. No matter what you call them, they are a fun, versatile option to consider next time you’re in charge of the party food.
Storing Suggestions
These can be served immediately but in my opinion, they taste best when refrigerated for at least 3-4 hours. They will easily keep if made a day ahead of time. Makes 24 servings (2 finger sandwiches per serving).
