I enjoy high tea at fancy, expensive places but I have made a pledge to cut back on frivolous spending. Thus, I have been experimenting with recipes for mini sandwiches. It's been slow year for desginer cookies, but my cookie cutters came in handy for special shaped sandwiches.
Rosemary Chicken Salad was delectable with 3 C chopped roasted chicken which I purchased at Costco, 1/4 C green onions, 1/4 C maynonnaise, 1 t chopped fresh rosemary, salt, and freshly ground pepper. Personally, I would have added more mayonnaise but everyone liked it just the way it was.
It wouldn't be a tea party without cucumber sandwichs. Scored the sides of cucumber, sliced, and placed in a bowl filled with vinegar and water. Combined 1/4 C mayonnaise, 8 oz cream cheese, garlic powder, onion salt, and a dash of Worcestershire. Spread on bread slices, placed cucumber slices on bread, and topped with a dash of paprika. It was ok, nothing to get excited about but having these sandwiches set the tone for our tea party. Light, simple, and very English!
2 lovely girls prepared the tomato sandwiches which is a Southern classic. Freshly picked basil leaves and sliced Roma tomatoes were placed in between heart shaped bread slices spread with mayonnaise. Simply divine!
I couldn't imagine life without mayonnaise. The more, the better. A sandwich isn't a sandwich without this essential condiment.
