Experiment with adding finely chopped fresh herbs, such as dill or chives, to the cream cheese spread for a burst of fresh flavor.
Use a cookie cutter to cut the sandwiches into fun shapes for a whimsical touch.
For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free bread. Be sure to check that all other ingredients are also gluten-free.
The quality of the bread and mayonnaise really matters. Use the best you can find for the best results.
Consider adding a thin smear of Dijon mustard to the bread before the cream cheese for a subtle tang.
