Ingredients

• 8 oz Cream cheese
• 2 tbsp Fresh chives
• 2 tbsp Fresh parsley
• 1 tbsp Fresh dill
• 1 tsp Lemon juice
• 0.25 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper
• 12 slices Sliced sandwich bread (white or whole wheat)
• 2 tbsp Butter (softened)

Directions

Step 1

Place cream cheese in a mixing bowl and let it soften at room temperature for 10 minutes to make it easier to mix.

Step 2

Finely chop fresh chives, parsley, and dill, and add them to the cream cheese.

Step 3

Add lemon juice, salt, and black pepper to the mixing bowl. Stir the mixture thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and smooth.

Step 4

Spread a thin layer of softened butter onto one side of each slice of bread. This will prevent the filling from making the bread soggy.

Step 5

Spread an even layer of the herb cheese mixture on half of the bread slices (buttered side facing up).

Step 6

Top each filled slice with another slice of bread, buttered side down, to form a sandwich.

Step 7

Using a sharp knife, carefully trim off the crusts from each sandwich. Save the crusts for another use, like breadcrumbs, if desired.

Step 8

Cut each sandwich into 2-4 pieces, depending on your preferred size (triangles, rectangles, or squares all work well).

Step 9

Arrange the tea sandwiches on a serving platter and serve immediately or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
