Tea time sandwiches should be comforting but not dull. A cheese toastie with brown pickle is a classic for a reason. Ham and golden piccalilli in a wrap is tidy and fast. Brie with sweet balsamic onions feels fancy with almost no effort.
Add crunch on the side. Gherkins, pickled cauliflower or spicy onions. A jar turns a snack into a small moment.
Good food does not have to be complicated. It just needs balance.
