Tea sandwiches, originating from British afternoon tea traditions, are small, bite-sized sandwiches designed for light snacking. Typically made with thin slices of bread, they are often trimmed of crusts and layered with various fillings such as cucumber, smoked salmon, egg salad, or cream cheese with herbs. Their petite size and delicate appearance make them a staple in tea parties, picnic spreads, and elegant gatherings. From a nutritional perspective, tea sandwiches can be healthy depending on the ingredients. Variations with fresh vegetables, lean proteins, and whole-grain bread offer vitamins, fiber, and essential nutrients. However, some versions may include higher-calorie spreads or processed meats, which could contribute excess fat or sodium. Portion control, paired with mindful ingredient choices, allows tea sandwiches to balance indulgence and nutrition, making them a versatile addition to any diet.
