And so this little sandwich was born. I cut up little squares of bread, and spread them with some soft creamy Brie cheese that I mixed up with a little chopped fresh dill. I popped a cool cucumber slice on top of the cheese, and then a slice of chilled shrimp on top of that. One more sprig of dill, and we were all set. A little plate of England, right there in my New Jersey living room (where just for the record, the Southern husband is also surrounded by females, including the dog).
(That’s the look we get when we are eating pretty much anything, tea sandwiches included.)
Now dust off your teapot and make yourself up some tea sandwiches! They’ll turn your ordinary lunchtime into something happily, easily elegant before you know it.

These look lovely and adorable! Makes me want to throw a tea party with my girlfriends!
I think that’s a great idea! A tea party once a month should be a rule.
Woman..you NEED to come to NYC and go to Alice’s Tea Cup with me! They serve the best high noon teas! The Southern Husband can even so totally come.
Well, guess what? I work in midtown Manhattan…let’s do it!!! Name Your Date!
I just had my 8 year old daughter’s birthday at a real tea house. (When other patrons weren’t there of course!) They had hats and fascinators and a manners lesson. It was adorable. I enjoyed the food more than they – I think the jam sandwiches were among the only ones eaten by the girls, but they were quite happy with the cupcakes and scones and little bitty pastries.
That sounds like the best birthday party EVER! I’d like one of those for me! (Southern husband, are you listening?)
Dill in brie…what an excellent and unexpected idea. I’ve almost given up creamy cheeses like brie because they are so rich, but dill would really give some zing to that flavor! This is an excellent sandwich!z
I’ve always dreamt of owning a tea shop. I love the fussiness of getting everything ready, then seeing it devoured in a heartbeat.
Should be depressing, I suppose, but it makes me happy to see people enjoying themselves.
I’d LOVE to have a tea shop! Maybe one day….
I can’t stop looking at these pretty tea sandwiches. So easy to make. Thank you.
You are so welcome – I hope you make them soon, with a nice cup of tea! These days in the sultry Northeast we need the iced version!
I’m so lucky that my husband will go to Tea Shops with me. I love High Tea, and have been fortunate to experience it in England (many years ago). I’ve always wanted to make my own High Tea, at home. One of these days, I shall. This sandwich looks like a great way to start.
Aren’t we lucky to have such wonderful guys? They definitely deserve a nice high tea at home.
Kate, these look FABULOUS and remind me of versions I’ve had during wedding showers and baby showers down here in the South. This is definitely something I’ll have to make to jazz up those already-loved sandwiches.
Also, we’re doing a roundup of Fourth of July foods today at Delightfully Southern, and I wanted to let you know we’re including this dish because it’s fun and familiar and a little different. Thanks so much for sharing it!
Thanks Erin – happy to be part of your wonderful round-up! Hope you had a grand Fourth!
Thanks, Kate! Happy to include you and this recipe.
Our Fourth was lovely. I hope yours was, too!
I prepared these sandwiches yesterday and they were delicious. Thanks for the recipe!
You are so welcome – glad you liked them!
Kate, you just made my perfect lunch. Even though its a cold December day in the midwest for me, I am an English girl who moved to the states as a child. Totally miss the proper teas and this lovely little gem is a wonderful reminder. Since I had all the ingredients on hand, decided to throw myself a personal tea party, and you are correct…when I closed my eyes it was a little bite of home. Thanks for all the wonderful recipes, and your stories!
Jules, that is so inspirational – good for you for having your own tea party! I’m going to try that myself sometime over the holidays as a treat.
