Cucumber Sandwiches Recipe
Ingredients
- 8 slices sandwich bread
- 2 cucumbers
- 200 grams cream cheese
- 4 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 2-3 tablespoons Dill leaves, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons Chopped Green onion
- 1 Garlic Clove, grated
- Salt and pepper as per taste
Instructions
- Mix together cream cheese, mayonnaise, grated garlic, chopped dill leaves, chopped green onion, pepper, and salt to taste in a bowl.
- Slice cucumbers into thin slices using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer.
- Cut the brown edges off the bread using a knife.
- Spread 2 tablespoons of the cream cheese mixture on a slice of bread. Top it with a layer of sliced cucumber. Optionally, sprinkle some dill leaves and a dash of pepper on top.
- On another slice of bread, spread another tablespoon of the cream cheese mixture. Place it cream cheese side down on top of the first slice with the cucumbers.
- Repeat the process with the remaining slices of bread.
Tips
- Use English cucumbers or similar for their thin skins and minimal seeds, which are less bitter and crisp.
- Slice cucumbers thin for easy biting and perfect layering in sandwiches.
- Be generous with the herby cream cheese spread to flavor the sandwich.
- You can prepare and store the spread for up to a week in the refrigerator, but it's best to assemble the sandwiches fresh to avoid soggy bread.
Serving Suggestion
Serve with warm tea for a classic afternoon tea or early evening snack. Cucumber sandwiches also pair well with light salads and are perfect for picnics and potlucks alongside other finger foods.
Enjoy your deliciously light and herby Cucumber Sandwiches!
