Method

  1. For the goat's cheese, walnut & roasted pepper sandwiches, mix together 200g soft goat's cheese with 100g cream cheese. Spread most of the mixture over 5 slices white bread. Slice 2 roasted red peppers into strips, divide between the bread, then top each with another slice white bread. Trim the crusts, then cut each sandwich into 4 triangles. Whizz 25g walnuts until fine. Spread 1 edge of each sandwich with the remaining cheese mix, then dip into the chopped walnuts.
  2. For the lemony cucumber & prawn sandwiches, lightly spread 6 slices wholemeal bread with butter. Cover with a layer of thinly sliced cucumber, then use a 5-6cm round cutter to stamp out 12 circles. Mix together 4 tbsp mayonnaise with zest 1 lemon. Top each circle with 1 halved large cooked prawn and a dollop of the lemony mayonnaise.
  3. For the creamy egg & cress sandwiches, boil 4 eggs for 8 mins. Cool the eggs, peel, mash, then mix with 2 chopped spring onions and 2-3 tbsp crème fraîche. Season, then spread over 12 small rolls. Add a little cress, pop on the lids and serve.

Tea-time tips

Allow 3-4 sandwiches per person. But don't prepare them too early as they will either go soggy or dry out.

    I was put in charge of the food for a wake! After I had finished panicking I decided to do this selection of sandwiches amongst other bits. Lets just say that were very easy, if a bit time consuming (2hrs!) but they went within 10 minutes! Will do these again for another large gathering.

    A good one for vegetarians is grated carrot, peanut butter and golden sultanas. For nut allergies substitute hummous.

    When inviting someone for afternoon tea, its always good to include a savoury option for diabetics. Diabetics don't always broadcast their ailment, but are always delighted to find a savoury option at afternoon teas
