Simple Pomegranate Goat Cheese Tea Sandwich Recipe - Gluten-free

Simple Pomegranate Goat Cheese Tea Sandwich Recipe

By The St. James Tearoom

“With lunch at noon and dinner at eight, the afternoon tea proved the perfect answer to snacking politely before mealtime, and small, delicate finger sandwiches played a big role in quelling late-afternoon hunger. Custom dictated the sandwiches be made with two thin, crustless slices of bread. The filling was most commonly butter, mayonnaise, or cream cheese and paper-thin vegetable slices, or flavorful combinations like Cheddar cheese and pickle relish and ham and English mustard, though the offerings went beyond these classics.”

Simple Pomegranate Goat Cheese Tea Sandwich Recipe

Makes 6 large heart or 12 small hearts

Prep Time: 15 min.; Assembly Time: 5 min.

Ingredients:

  • 2 oz. softened goat cheese
  • 2 oz. softened cream cheese
  • 4 oz. softened butter
  • ½ cup of pomegranate seeds
  • 2 – 3 tsp. chopped fresh fennel (*plus some for optional garnish)
  • 6 slices white bread (for Gluten-free, we recommend Canyon Bakehouse brand)
  • 1 cucumber, halved then sliced longwise into ¼ inch thick slices

Instructions:

  1. In a mixer with the paddle attachment, combine the goat cheese, cream cheese, and butter; mix on medium speed until light and fluffy.
  2. Gently fold in the pomegranate seeds and fennel so they don’t break and the spread is evenly combined.
  3. Apply the pomegranate spread evenly onto bread slices.
  4. Add a layer of sliced cucumbers onto the bread slices and cut out the center with a heart-shaped cookie cutter.
  5. Garnish with a sprig of fresh fennel (optional) and serve!

Enjoy!

Tea Sandwich Assembly Tips:

  1. To keep the cucumber slices from sliding on your spread, pat them down with a dry paper towel before layering.
  2. Refrigerate for 5 minutes before cutting so the sandwiches are easier to cut.
  3. The goat cheese, cream cheese, and butter should be soft but not melted. We recommend leaving them at room temperature for an hour.
