Strawberry Tea Sandwiches

Celebrate the fresh flavors of spring with these sweet-shaped, mini sandwiches. Perfect for brunch, lunch or a garden tea party, these tiny bites are big on flavor.

Ingredients

• 1 (8 ounce) package 1/3 less fat cream cheese (Neufchâtel) (room temperature)
• 1/3 cup Nestlé® Nesquik Strawberry Flavor Powder
• 1/4 teaspoon grated orange peel (optional)
• 3 to 4 inch round biscuit cutter or other fun cookie cutters
• 16 thin slices whole-wheat or white bread
• 1 cup sliced fresh strawberries*

Instructions

1. Combine cream cheese and Nesquik in bowl; stir until Nesquik is dissolved.
2. Stir in orange peel.
3. Using a biscuit cutter, cut each piece of bread into circles; discard excess.
4. Spread about 2 tablespoons cream cheese mixture over half of the bread circles.
5. Place about 4 slices strawberries on top of cream cheese mixture; top with remaining bread circles.

Notes

* Variation: Use 1/2 cup peeled, thinly sliced cucumber in place of strawberries. Fresh mint leaves are also a great addition to both strawberry and cucumber sandwiches.
