A delightful twist on classic tea sandwiches, combining the sweetness of carrots with the crunch of nuts.
Trim the crusts off the bread slices.
Save the crusts to make breadcrumbs or croutons later.
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, grated carrot, chopped walnuts, and chopped pecans until well mixed.
Ensure the cream cheese is at room temperature for easier mixing.
Spread the filling evenly onto half of the bread slices.
Use a spatula for a smooth and even spread.
Top each filled slice with another slice of bread to create sandwiches.
Press gently to ensure the sandwiches hold together.
Cut the sandwiches into quarters or use cookie cutters to create fun shapes.
Be creative with shapes to make the presentation more appealing.
Chill the sandwiches in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.
Chilling helps the filling set and makes the sandwiches easier to handle.
