The inspiration
I had these outstanding tea sandwiches when I went over to see my good friend Roli recently. She always goes all out to put on a delicious spread of teatime treats when we meet. There are always healthy options mixed in with sweet treats, along with a hot cup of tea. A perfect formula for tea with a friend 💕🫖.

Nostalgic, healthy and delicious
These cucumber, tomato and cheese sandwiches brought back memories of when my kids were in school and I would make something similar for their lunchbox or as a hearty snack when they came home from school 💕.
Adultified recipe 🌶🥪
I love the idea of giving these simple sandwiches an adult twist with spicy pepper jack cheese 🧀🌶. Pepper jack cheese gives the sandwich delicious flavor and heat turning a simple cucumber and tomato sandwich into an elevated sandwich. In mine I even went further and added in peppery arugula and used whole wheat bread.
For a delicious sandwich for lunch or afternoon snack time, give these wonderful sandwiches a try.
