Pipsqueak Tea Sandwiches

Adapted from The Help Yourself Cookbook for Kids

2 Tbsp. vegan cream cheese (store-bought or see recipe in The Help Yourself Cookbook for Kids)
2 slices whole-grain bread (try sprouted)
4 or more cucumber slices
Sea salt
Black pepper

• Spread the vegan cream cheese on both slices of bread.
• Lay the cucumbers on one piece of bread and sprinkle with the salt and pepper, then stack the second piece of bread on top.
• Ask your parents to cut the sandwich in half and then in half again to make four tiny sandwiches (you can tell them that a large straight-edge knife works best, so they can press straight down instead of sawing back and forth). Enjoy!
