• 1 cup guacamole
• 2 cooked chicken breasts, thinly sliced
• 4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
• 2 tablespoons chopped chives
• 1/2 English cucumber, sliced into thin rounds
• 1/4 cantaloupe, peeled, seeded and thinly sliced

Directions

Using a round cookie cutter, cut out the center of the bread, removing the crusts.

Guacamole Chicken Tea Sandwiches:

Take a piece of the bread and, using a butter knife, spread 1 side of it with guacamole. Spread 1 side of another piece of bread with mayonnaise. Top guacamole with chicken and then the mayonnaise-smeared bread.

Chive Cream Cheese and Cucumber Tea Sandwiches:

Mix chives into the softened cream cheese. Spread 1 side of 1 slice of bread with the chive cream cheese. Top with a few slices of cucumber and then with another slice of bread.
