Quick Tip

Light mayonaisse
The secret to a perfect tea sandwich isn't fancy ingredients; it's adherence to a basic framework. Start with thinly sliced bread, use just enough mayonnaise (a light coating on each slice of bread) to prevent sogginess, and exercise restraint when adding the filling (it's a tea sandwich, not a sub).
