A new variation on a traditional cucumber tea sandwich! Ingredients:
1/2 seedless cucumber, peeled and very thinly sliced (about 32 slices) |
1/4 cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves, rinsed, spun dry, finely chopped |
1/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature |
1/4 cup cream cheese, room temperature |
16 slices best-quality white bread (or whole wheat) |
salt |
Directions:
1. Place cucumber slices between layers of paper towels to remove excess moisture.
2. In a small bowl, combine the mint, butter, and cream cheese; spread on one side of each slice of bread. Lay the cucumber slices onto the buttered side of 8 slices of bread. Sprinkle with salt. Top with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side down.
3. Gently cut the crusts from each sandwich with a sharp knife. Cut the sandwiches in half diagonally and then cut in half again.
4. Makes 8 whole sandwiches, or 16 halves, or 32 fourths.
