Simple Tea Sandwiches are an all-time classic in Easter Europe. As little kids we grew up eating those, not only at tea parties, but at times they were served as a meal.

This particular recipe has a little twist to a classic. The garlicky cream cheese with some roasted zucchini is a bomb combination. Overall it’s a killer sandwich.

I noticed you didn't add sausage to your list of ingredients; would you please tell me what kind you used?
Oh darn! Good catch, I'll update it. The one I am using is from a Polish store, some sort of smoked salami. It's soft but on a dry side. But any of your favorites would work.
This is a great appetizer for New Years! Love your pictures! 🙂
Thank you Valya! Happy new year to you!
