Ingredients
- 225 grams Cream cheese
- 1 medium Carrot
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 8 slices Whole grain or white sandwich bread
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (optional, for spreading)
Directions
Step 1
Grate the carrot on the fine side of a box grater and set it aside.
Step 2
In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cream cheese, grated carrot, fresh dill, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined and creamy.
Step 3
Lay out the slices of bread on a flat surface. If desired, lightly spread unsalted butter on one side of each slice to prevent the spread from soaking into the bread and to enhance flavor.
Step 4
Spread an even layer of the carrot and cream cheese mixture onto 4 slices of bread.
Step 5
Top with the remaining bread slices to form sandwiches.
Step 6
Using a sharp knife, trim the crusts off the sandwiches for a traditional tea sandwich look.
Step 7
Cut each sandwich into quarters, either diagonally into triangles or into squares, depending on your preference.
Step 8
Arrange the tea sandwiches on a serving platter and serve immediately, or cover with a slightly damp paper towel and plastic wrap to keep them fresh until serving.
