Ingredients

• 8 oz Cream cheese
• 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
• 2 tablespoons Fresh chives, finely chopped
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 12 slices White sandwich bread, crusts removed
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened

Directions

Step 1

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese and shredded cheddar cheese. Use a spatula or wooden spoon to mix until well blended and smooth.

Step 2

Add the chopped chives, parsley, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper to the cheese mixture. Stir until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 3

Spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each slice of bread. This will act as a barrier to prevent the sandwiches from becoming soggy.

Step 4

Spread an even layer of the cheese mixture onto six of the buttered bread slices.

Step 5

Top each with another buttered slice of bread, buttered side facing inwards, to form six sandwiches.

Step 6

Using a sharp knife, carefully trim the crusts off each sandwich if needed to ensure neat edges.

Step 7

Cut each sandwich into four equal squares or triangles, depending on your preference.

Step 8

Arrange the tea sandwiches on a serving platter, and serve immediately or cover with a damp paper towel and plastic wrap to keep them fresh until ready to serve.
