Ingredients:

  • 4 oz full-fat cream cheese, softened
  • 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp fruit jelly
  • 2 slices brioche bread

Instructions:

  1. Place the softened cream cheese in a small bowl and whip with a spatula for 30 seconds until glossy and smooth.
  2. Fold in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
  3. Spread a generous, even layer of the cream cheese mixture onto both slices of bread, ensuring it reaches the edges.
  4. Dollop the fruit jelly in the center of one slice and spread outward, leaving a small margin at the edge to prevent leakage.
  5. Press the two slices together firmly but gently.
  6. Use a serrated bread knife to slice the sandwich diagonally and trim the crusts for a professional tea sandwich appearance.
