     The other sandwiches we made are these delicate Cucumber Tea Sandwiches with strawberries, Devonshire cream and basil.  They were a big hit at the shower.
Recipe from Key Ingredient



What you need:

2 Tbsp fresh basil leave (finely chopped)

How to make them:

Fold until well combined.
Spread a thin layer of cream on one side of each slice of bread.
Add an even layer of cucumber slices to four of the bread slices, then top the cucumbers with an even layer of strawberry slices.

Slice the crust off the sandwiches.
Then slice each sandwich into 4 smaller triangles or squares, then ENJOY!
