Finger Sandwich Recipes With Cream Cheese

Finger sandwiches sound like such a fancy thing to make or eat, but they're actually simple and quicker than quick. Eaten with your hands and usually cut crustless, these sandwiches resemble fingers and are often served with afternoon tea. You certainly can do that, but this easy veggie cream cheese finger sandwich recipe is ideal for kids' tea parties or last-minute guests.

Also referred to as tea sandwiches, these vegetable finger sandwiches can be prepared with a wide range of vegetables, and kids love it when it's made with milder, sweeter ones such as carrots, English cucumbers, and bell peppers. Feel free to experiment with your favorite flavor combinations. This recipe calls for herbs such as chives or parsley, but you could use cilantro, basil, tarragon, or mint (which is especially good with cucumber), depending on your preferences. These sandwiches are a quick way to use up vegetables from your garden, too.

If you are indeed serving these sandwiches to kids, you might consider leaving off the optional chopped garlic and horseradish to make the sandwiches less pungent.

Soft white bread is usually the go-to bread of choice, but feel free to use any other soft bread that you like, such as a wheat or even brioche.

Some people swear by spreading butter or margarine on the bread slices before you add the other ingredients, but in this recipe, the cream cheese takes that place. The easiest and most fail-safe way to prevent sogginess is to assemble the sandwiches just before serving. This way they aren't sitting around for very long.

These sandwiches are best eaten right after they are made. However, should you find yourself with leftovers, you can keep them in the fridge for a day or two, well wrapped or in a covered container, before they start to become soggy.
