    For the goat's cheese, walnut & roasted pepper sandwiches, mix together 200g soft goat’s cheese with 100g cream cheese. Spread most of the mixture over 5 slices white bread. Slice 2 roasted red peppers into strips, divide between the bread, then top each with another slice white bread. Trim the crusts, then cut each sandwich into 4 triangles. Whizz 25g walnuts until fine. Spread 1 edge of each sandwich with the remaining cheese mix, then dip into the chopped walnuts.

    For the lemony cucumber & prawn sandwiches, lightly spread 6 slices wholemeal bread with butter. Cover with a layer of thinly sliced cucumber, then use a 5-6cm round cutter to stamp out 12 circles. Mix together 4 tbsp mayonnaise with zest 1 lemon. Top each circle with 1 halved large cooked prawn and a dollop of the lemony mayonnaise.

  • step 3

question

Is it ok to prepare the fillings the day before?

Hi, thanks for your question. Yes the fillings could be made a day ahead, covered and kept in the fridge until needed. We hope this helps. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.

When inviting someone for afternoon tea, its always good to include a savoury option for diabetics. Diabetics don't always broadcast their ailment, but are always delighted to find a savoury option at afternoon teas

A good one for vegetarians is grated carrot, peanut butter and golden sultanas. For nut allergies substitute hummous.

I was put in charge of the food for a wake! After I had finished panicking I decided to do this selection of sandwiches amongst other bits. Lets just say that were very easy, if a bit time consuming (2hrs!) but they went within 10 minutes! Will do these again for another large gathering.
