Ladybug Love Tea Sandwiches image

I am pleased to share my Ladybug Love Tea Sammies that I created for the Valentine's Day party I had with friends this past Sunday. They were a hit and matched with my homemade Ladybug Valentine cards. I have a friend Rosemarie who is so generous & patient that she taught me how to make the cards & we created them as we went...

Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 18

FOR SPREAD/DRESSING ---MAKE THE DAY BEFORE FOR BETTER FLAVOR
1/2 c sour cream
1/2 c mayonnaise dressing
1 1/2 Tbsp beau monde seasoning
1/8 - 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (approx)
1 1/2 tsp black pepper
1/2 - 1 tsp mustard, ground
2 Tbsp dill, dried
FOR LADYBUGS
1 small container of cherry tomatoes
1 can(s) whole black olives
1 toothpick
4 - 6 dash(es) balsalmic glaze
ASSEMBLE YOUR LADYBUG LOVE TEA SAMMIES
24 slice tea bread
baby lettuce leaves
4 slice smokehouse bacon, cooked & crumbled
6 sprig(s) fresh dill, chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Mix all ingredients for the spread and refrigerate overnight for better flavor. Several hours before the party slice your small grape tomatoes in half (longwise), the olives in half for the heads so that you can then assemble them. Now, take the tomato and pierce with toothpick that has been dipped into the balsalmic glaze to make your spots on the ladybug plus give addt'l flavor to your sammie. (These measurements for the spices are estimates as I taste while mixing together. Please add a little more if need be.)
  • 2. Here is a photo of my ladybug love tea sammies at the Valentine Party we had this past weekend. I cheated and didn't put the ladies polka dots on all of the them....they are non-spotted ladybugs. haha Still though, they looked cute enough for the party.
  • 3. Here is a photo of some of the tea sandwiches from the Valentine party along with my very first homemade card.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sandwiches didn't turn out as good as I hoped.

I'm not a fan of ladybug cookies, but I still enjoyed these sandwiches. The cream cheese filling was delicious.

These sandwiches were a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would have liked them better if they had been made with a lighter bread.

I thought these sandwiches were just okay. They were easy to make, but the flavor was a bit bland.
