Your will be done
On earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our debts,
As we forgive our debtors.”
Matthew 6:10-12
Dainty Egg and Watercress Sandwiches with hard cooked eggs and mayonnaise. Watercress provides a slightly peppery bite to the sandwiches.
Dainty tea sandwiches are synonymous with tea time. They are always popular and provide a nice savory contrast to sweet cakes, cookies, and scones.
How to Prepare Sandwiches
Sandwiches should never be soggy. A good way to prepare them is as follows.
1. Remove the crusts from the slices of bread.
2. Spread a thin layer of softened butter on the bread from end to end to act as a moisture barrier from whatever is sandwiched in between.
3. Cut each prepared sandwich in half or on a diagonal.
Preparing Ahead of Time
Sandwiches may be prepared ahead of time. Cover them with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to be served.
