- With the cookie cutter, I was able to get two circles out of each slice of bread. I don't like to throw out the leftover cut pieces of bread, so I like to cut them into small pieces and toast them to add to salads as makeshift croutons.
- When cutting out the lettuce, don't stretch out the folds since they'll spring right back.
- Make sure the lettuce is completely dry before adding it to the tea sandwich.
- The mayo and lettuce prevent the bread from getting soggy from the tomato, so be sure to stack the sandwiches in the same order.
- Everything can be cut and prepped a day the day before, but assemble the sandwiches the day of. The bacon, sliced tomatoes, and lettuce circles can be stored in the refrigerator in an airtight container. Lay the tomatoes and lettuce in paper towels to keep them dry.
- Bread circles cut easier when the bread is partially frozen. It creates cleaner cuts.
- The sandwiches should be served at room temperature.
