High Tea Saturday Part 1: Smoked Salmon Tea Sandwiches

One fine Saturday, we had decided to try out hand at some of our high tea recipes because we felt fancy  like we wanted to have lots of some English food. In this three-part series, we'll be sharing our adventure with three of our favorite high tea items - savoury style. For our first recipe, we made some simple tea sandwiches. This recipe is highly fuss free and will need the following:

Ingredients: 
1 package smoked salmon from the deli (normally 100-300 grams, depending on how many sandwiches you want)
1 small block of cream cheese (250g)
fresh dill to taste
1 loaf of rye bread (preferably square shaped)

Process: 


  1. Remove the crusts from the bread and cut into square pieces 
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine the dill and the cream cheese until the tart taste of the dill flavours the cheese. Mix until the cheese has the consistency of a spread 
  3. Tea sandwiches in the making!
  4. Take two slices of bread and spread with a cream cheese layer. On one slice, add a few slices of smoked salmon (based on our package, 1-1.5 round pieces) and then cover with the other slice of bread (basically, combine all ingredients to make a sandwich). 

The finished product. We may or may not have gobbled the entire plate down.
