→ Fillings
02 - 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
03 - 2 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
04 - 2.8 ounces sliced cheddar cheese

# Directions:
01 - Place the bread slices evenly on a clean cutting board.
02 - Distribute mayonnaise or cream cheese across one side of each bread slice using a spreading knife.

04 - Cover the prepared fillings with the other bread slices to complete each sandwich.
05 - Gently press each sandwich, trim crusts if desired, and cut each sandwich into quarters, creating bite-sized squares or triangles.

# Expert Tips:
01 -
- You can mix and match fillings based on what’s in your fridge and never get bored.
- These mini sandwiches are the first things to vanish at any party—trust me, I’ve watched shy guests go back for thirds.
02 -
- Don’t skip drying lettuce and cucumber—wet veggies will make your sandwiches floppy in no time.
- Let the sandwiches rest under a damp towel for five minutes if you want the bread to soften just right without drying out.
03 -
- Always sharpen your knife before trimming and cutting for the cleanest mini sandwiches.
- A pinch of flaky salt on tomato slices takes each bite from good to irresistible.
