Cucumber sandwich with cream cheese is a simple yet elegant choice for afternoon teas or light snacks. This recipe combines the refreshing taste of cucumbers with the creamy texture of cream cheese, all nestled between slices of whole-wheat bread. It’s a quick and delicious option that’s sure to impress.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Start by washing and drying the cucumber. Slice it thinly using a knife or mandoline for uniform thinness.
- Take the two slices of whole-wheat bread and evenly spread 1 tablespoon of cream cheese on each slice. Ensure that the cream cheese covers the bread from edge to edge.
- Place the cucumber slices on one slice of the bread over the cream cheese. Arrange the slices so they overlap slightly and cover the entire slice.
- Sprinkle a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper evenly over the cucumber slices. Adjust to taste if necessary.
- Place the second slice of bread, cream cheese side down, on top of the cucumber-covered slice to complete the sandwich.
- Press down gently on the sandwich to ensure it holds together. Using a sharp knife, trim off the crusts from all sides for a neater presentation.
- Cut the sandwich into diagonal quarters (triangles) or into small rectangles, depending on your preference.
- Arrange the cucumber tea sandwiches on a plate and serve immediately. They pair wonderfully with a cup of tea.
Tips:
- For added flavor, try adding a pinch of fresh dill or chives to the cream cheese before spreading it on the bread.
- To prevent the bread from becoming soggy, pat the cucumber slices dry with a paper towel before assembling the sandwiches.
- Using a serrated knife can help you cut the sandwiches neatly without squishing the bread.
- For a more refined presentation, remove the crusts from the bread slices before assembling the sandwich.
Cucumber sandwich with cream cheese is not only easy to make but also provide a delightful combination of flavors and textures. Whether you’re hosting a tea party or just looking for a light bite, these sandwiches are sure to be a hit. Enjoy the crisp, creamy, and subtly seasoned creation!
