Egg and Watercress Sandwiches

Sandwiches

“Your kingdom come.
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 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.
