WALNUT TEA SANDWICHES

Recipe source: The Book Club Cookbook -- describing a wonderful way to discus Jane Eyre at your book club while nibbling on these wonderful tea sandwiches -- best if used very thin bread (suggestion: Pepperidge Farm thinly sliced bread/a combination of white and wheat would be pretty on a tray). Suggested to make sandwiches ahead of time and then cover them with waxed paper and then refrigerate them to prevent drying out -- but it is still best to prepare sandwiches as close to serving time as possible.

Tips for Making the Best Walnut Tea Sandwiches:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the sandwiches will taste. Look for fresh, flavorful bread, creamy butter, and finely chopped walnuts.
  • Toast the bread. This will help the sandwiches hold together and give them a nice, crispy texture.
  • Spread the butter evenly. Make sure the butter is spread all the way to the edges of the bread so that the sandwiches don't get soggy.
  • Don't overfill the sandwiches. Too much filling will make the sandwiches difficult to eat and may cause them to fall apart.
  • Cut the sandwiches into small pieces. This will make them easier to eat and will help prevent them from falling apart.
  • Serve the sandwiches immediately. Walnut tea sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh.
