I did afternoon tea for a baby shower several years ago.
the crustless mini-quiche was a big hit. I mixed up an egg mixture with a bit of milk or cream and spices. S&P a touch of nutmeg is great. Saute some mushroms if you like them with a little finly chopped onion. put a little with a heaping teaspoon of shreaded cheese in the bottom of a nonstick and sprayed mini muffin pan. pour egg mixture about 2/3 full. bake until puffy and lightly brown about 10 minutes @375. 3 eggs & 1/2 c milk/ cream makes about 2 doz.
You can also use :chopped ham and swiss
: sauted spring onion with crabmeat
: bacon and cheddar
: sauted chopped broccoli crowns and your favorite cheese....

For a sweet I served Itallian wedding cookies and fruit salad AND of course pots of a good earl grey with milk and sugar/ sweetner. I also had lemon slices for those who wanted it.

It was a great hit! Blessings, Spring

Cucumber sandwiches. White bread with the crusts cut off, buttered, thinly sliced cucumbers, salt and pepper. Served cold.

Finally someone else that loves cucumber sandwiches. I worked in a restaurant that served Tea in the afternoon, they used small croissants, buttered, and the sliced cucumbers. They would also serve the same croissants with thinly sliced ham. Cookies are a must.

How about those little cherry cheesecakes? The ones with the vanilla wafer at the bottom (I can look up the recipe if you like). Everybody always likes those and they look pretty.
