Lady Cowper Cucumber Tea Sandwiches
Lady Cowper Cucumber Tea Sandwiches are inspired by the Bridgerton TV series on Netflix. Â They are great tea party sandwiches for any tea party or Regency Era themed event. Â Cucumber sandwiches are a tea party classic. Â They are very easy to make and are surprisingly delicious and refreshing. Â I love that you do not need any cooking skills to make these sandwiches. Â So if you are new to making any food, this recipe is perfect for you.
The cream cheese mixture gets its flavor from the dill and chives and is delicious and creamy. Â You can also double or triple this recipe, depending on the size of the party or event. Â I like the sandwiches to chill for a little while before serving, or you can serve them immediately. Â I also like to embellish the top with a little dollop of the cream cheese mixture and topped with a half cucumber slice.

Instructions
- Start by slicing cucumbers very thin. Â So to ensure the same size slices, use a mandoline slicer or vegetable slicer.
- Next, finely chop the dill and chives.
-
In a bowl, combine cream cheese with mayonnaise, dill, chives, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Â Mix until well combined and set aside.
-
Lay the bread pieces out in a single layer, then spread the cream cheese mixture all over the bread (both sides).
-
Layer the sliced cucumbers over half of the bread slices, then top the sandwiches with the other slices of bread. Â So I added some additional coarse black pepper for more flavor.
-
Next, cut off the crusts and then slice each sandwich into thirds.
-
You can make ahead and refrigerate up to 5 hours ahead or serve immediately. Â I like to chill the sandwiches for at least 2 hours before serving. Â Enjoy!
