Corned Beef and Cabbage Tea Sandwiches

Often associated with Irish-American cuisine, corned beef makes for a slightly different, yet quite delicious, variation of a traditional tea sandwich. We paired our recipe with a simple garnish of shredded cabbage for a little crunch and the creaminess of Muenster cheese for some added richness. We recommend pairing these sandwiches with a strong cup of black tea such as our house-blended English Breakfast.
