TOMATO, CHEESE, BASIL TEA SANDWICHES



Tomato, Cheese, Basil Tea Sandwiches image

This is a dainty tea sandwich that is just delicious. Instructions are so that you will get two rounds out of one piece of bread, but if you can't, use a larger cookie cutter, but you will need more bread to make eight little sandwiches. These little ones are not open-faced but have a cover on them.
