Prosciutto French Onion Tea Sandwiches are perfect for bridal or baby showers, Mother’s day celebrations, or backyard pool parties. Super easy & delicious.
August tends to be a very busy month for us in regards to celebrations. I mentioned earlier that the munchkin celebrated a birthday.
This month we also celebrate the birthday of my niece & the anniversary of my brother & sister-in-law. And before we had hit mid-month we also celebrate the hubs birthday.

So I have been quite busy with planning & prepping & entertaining. I knew that for the hubs birthday we would have a small & casual gathering for lunch.
I wanted a light & a fresh menu that was easy to put together. So one thing we made were these Prosciutto French Onion Tea Sandwiches. Perfect light summer refreshments when hosting parties.
Here’s a closer look – this is what you are looking for.
Here are the tea sandwiches. Just a little cream cheese & the Knorr French Onion recipe mix whipped together into this spread.
Then add the prosciutto & a little baby spinach. So tasty – especially on this pumpernickel bread.
Pumpernickel bread is my kid’s favorite so whenever I can find a recipe to use it in I will. Plus – the color looks great with the other ingredients inside.
Here are some commonly asked questions
Can I use frozen spinach in these tea sandwiches?
I don’t recommend making this with frozen spinach as it won’t be crisp in the sandwich. I don’t think anyone wants to bite into soggy spinach that has leaked excess moisture into the bread of the sandwich. That wouldn’t be great.
Can I use a substitute for the French onion mix?
I have not personally tried it, so I can’t say how that would turn out. But if you have an alternative brand of French onion mix that you prefer, you can give that a try.
Can these sandwiches be made ahead of time and frozen?
Yes, I think you could do that, but you would want to add the fresh spinach after thawing and before serving. For the reasons I mentioned above, I don’t advise frozen spinach on the sandwich. You can, however, make these ahead of time and refrigerate until your party.
How many can this serve?
This recipe makes about 12 tea-size sandwiches. So depending on how many each person actually has you could feed 6-12 people with this recipe.
