Dainty tea sandwiches are synonymous to tea time. They are always popular and provide a nice savory contrast to sweet cakes, cookies, and scones. Sandwiches should never be soggy. A thin layer of softened butter spread on the bread from end to end will help prevent that. The crusts should be removed and each sandwich cut in half or on a diagonal. Sandwiches may be prepared ahead of time. They should be covered with plastic wrap and refrigerated until ready to be served.
Egg sandwiches are very easy to prepare. Only a few simple ingredients are required, namely hard cooked eggs, mayonnaise, salt, and pepper. Watercress provides a nice contrast of color and slightly peppery bite to the sandwiches.
