If you are using a spreadable cheese, such as cream cheese, use a piping bag or a butter knife to spread it evenly.
If you are using a firmer cheese, such as cheddar, use a cheese slicer to cut it into thin slices.
If you are using fruit, such as pears, make sure it is ripe and firm.
If you are using nuts, such as walnuts, toast them lightly in a pan or in the oven to bring out their flavor.
Serve the tea sandwiches immediately, or wrap them in plastic wrap and refrigerate them for up to 2 hours.
