Author Notes: Eating high tea makes me feel really posh even if I am still in my PJs at four in the afternoon. This is one of my favorites high tea treats made from things that I typically have on hand so that I don’t have to get out of said PJs to go to the store. - cheese1227

Serves 8 dainty tea sandwiches

3 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon Mango chutney
2 teaspoons curry powder
2 tablespoons almonds, chopped finely
Half an English cucumber, sliced in 1/8th inch disks
Handful of baby spinach leaves
8 slices of good pumpernickel bread, cut in neat squares

Put the kettle on for tea.
In a small bowl, mix cheese, chutney, curry powder and almonds.
Lay all eight slices of bread out on the counter. Evenly spread about a tablespoon of the cheese mixture to all corners of each piece of bread. On half of the slices, place a single layer of cucumbers. On the other half of the sliced, put 4-8 spinach leaves. Close them up. Slice them in triangles. Serve with tea as you like it.
