Sometimes you want to serve something unusual that doesn\u2019t take three days to make. These Sweet and Savory Tea Sandwiches offer four options for quickly made, tasty sandwiches. Serve them at your next vintage-style small gathering or formal tea. And if you\u2019ve never hosted a formal tea but always wanted to, these sandwiches will start you off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Paging through a Twenties magazine one day, I came across the recipe for these sandwiches. It was only a paragraph, tucked into a longer article, but they intrigued me. I liked the idea of sandwiches that didn\u2019t include watercress and cucumber! Plus, sweet sandwiches proved very popular in the Twenties. It was time I tried them myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Warm Weather Sandwiches<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Designed for warmer weather, these light tidbits are cool and easy to eat. You could certainly serve them in the dead of winter as well, but you might want to pair them with something heavy like chocolate brownies or a fluffy cake for dessert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One of the things I liked best about these sandwiches was that they sounded easy. I don\u2019t mind spending hours in the kitchen, but it\u2019s nice to find those recipes that taste special but go together fast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

These Sweet and Savory Tea Sandwiches use cream cheese, a spicy pepper jelly, honey, and pecans \u2013\u2013 not all together! Other sandwiches use marmalade as a filling. Then to balance out all that cream cheese you make simple chicken salad sandwiches served on dinner rolls as a savory option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Twenties Fast Food<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Really, for as much time as the Twenties cook spent in the kitchen, these quick sandwiches are equivalent to fast food. I used a mix and made my own dinner rolls, since I need to eat gluten free. However, if I bought the rolls and<\/em> the sandwich bread, I could throw these together for any party almost at a moment’s notice. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My sandwich bread was pretty small, as gluten free bread tends to be, and I used about 1 ounce of cream cheese plus added flavors per sandwich. So from eight ounces of cream cheese and its mix-ins, plus 1\/2 cup of marmalade, I could easily get a total of 9 sandwiches that I then cut into one-inch wide strips. Actually, since I was feeding only three of us, I made one of each type plus several chicken salad rolls. And I had plenty of the fillings left for another round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you use Parker-House size dinner rolls, you should be able to get six chicken sandwiches from the amounts I list in the recipe. If your dinner rolls are larger, you may want to double the recipe if you need half a dozen sandwiches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assuming you plan to feed 3-6 people, I give you recipes that start with 1\/2 cup of cream cheese or marmalade. After all, a party of two can be fun, but it\u2019s a pretty small party. If you find that you have leftovers, they’re still tasty the next day. Store them in the refrigerator.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
