The easiest and best tasting cucumber sandwich you can make!

Categories     Sandwiches & Snacks

Time 10m

Number Of Ingredients 3

4 slices thin-sliced, white bread (or any other choice)
2 ounces, room temperature cream cheese
½ small cucumber, thinly sliced

Steps:

  • Peel the cucumber, and slice it thinly. I used a simple OXO slicer for quick, even slices.
  • Spread soft/room temperature cream cheese on two slices of bread.
  • Arrange the cucumber slices, overlapping slightly, on one slice of bread and top with the other.
  • Slice off the edges with a sharp serrated knife, wiping with a damp paper towel after each cut. Next, cut into fingers (or triangles). Whether you cut them into fingers or triangles, you'll end up with two finger sandwiches.
  • If you need to make cucumber sandwiches ahead of time, keep them in a sealed container with a paper towel inside for a few hours, and refrigerate them.

GRANDMA'S CUCUMBER TEA SANDWICHES



Grandma's Cucumber Tea Sandwiches image

My Grandma and her sisters got together every couple of weeks to play bridge. She always made these sandwiches when it was her turn to host--and spent most of the day in the kitchen guarding the refrigerator to keep all the rest of us from stealing them! I changed the bread to whole wheat, as I like it better, but you can use whatever suits you--we also use pumpernickel or rye.
