Hummus and Pita

Hummus and pita are exemplary tea snacks that you must consider making for your high tea party. You can make this Middle Eastern staple by making hummus from scratch by blending chickpeas, tahini, olive oil, garlic paste, and lemon juice. Once you get a creamy mixture, you can season it with salt, pepper, and a little paprika. Then, pair it with a freshly baked pita bread garnished with a little olive oil and parsley.

Quiche

Another versatile dish that’ll be perfect for your high tea is quiche. It is a buttery and flaky pastry that has a rich filling. You can start by preparing a pastry crust and then filling it with combinations like ham and cheese. For vegetarian options, you can have a stuffing of mushroom and cheese or a mix of roasted vegetables. You can then bake it and slice it into bite-sized pieces to enjoy with tea.

Panini

The Italian pressed sandwich panini is an impeccable snack that has both elegance and flavours to steal the spotlight of your high tea party. To make perfect panini, go for a crusty bread like sourdough. Then, you can pick from a range of fillings like turkey, ham, mozzarella cheese, grilled tomato, roasted vegetables, and so on. Finally, grill the sandwich and cut it into bite-sized pieces to make it easier to handle and serve.

Fruit Tart

No party is complete without having dessert. For an elegant and healthier option for dessert, you can make fruit tarts. You can start by making a chocolate-flavoured batter for the tart. After you get a crispy baked tart, you can spread a layer of whipped cream as a base. Then, arrange assorted fruits like kiwi, strawberries, pineapple, etc. and top it off with some more whipped cream.
