Instructions

Preparation Steps: Gather all the ingredients and ensure the strawberry cream cheese is softened to room temperature for easy spreading.
Spread Cream Cheese: Evenly spread one side of each slice of fresh white bread with the softened strawberry cream cheese, covering the entire surface for a flavorful base.
Cut Out Shapes: Using a heart-shaped cookie cutter, carefully cut two heart shapes from each slice of bread to form sandwich pieces.
Add Strawberries: Thinly slice fresh strawberries and arrange them evenly atop the cream cheese on half of the heart-shaped bread pieces. If using, add thin peach slices for a sweeter alternative.
Assemble Sandwiches: Place the remaining heart-shaped bread pieces, cream cheese side down, on top of the strawberry-topped halves to create closed-faced tea sandwiches.
Serve: Serve the sandwiches immediately to enjoy optimal freshness and flavor.
Garnish (Optional): Decorate the serving plate or sandwiches with fresh mint leaves for a vibrant aroma and appealing presentation.

Notes

Use whole grain or gluten-free bread if preferred or required for dietary needs.
Ensure the cream cheese is soft but not melted to achieve easy spreading.
These sandwiches are best served freshly made to avoid sogginess.
Substitute strawberries with other berries like blueberries or raspberries for variety.
Peach slices add a lovely sweetness but are optional based on availability and taste preference.
