Best Cucumber And Butter Tea Sandwiches Recipes

CUCUMBER SANDWICH RECIPE

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.

ENGLISH TEA CUCUMBER SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Place cucumber slices between 2 paper towels set in a colander. Allow liquid to drain, about 10 minutes.
• Mix cream cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion salt, and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl until smooth.
• Spread cream cheese mixture evenly on one side of each bread slice.
• Divide cucumber slices over half of the bread slices; sprinkle lemon pepper on cucumber.
• Stack the other half of the bread slices with spread sides down over the cucumber slices to make sandwiches.

CUCUMBER AND PROSCIUTTO TEA SANDWICHES

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine butter, chives, and mustard. Spread bread slices with a layer of seasoned butter. Top 8 bread slices with 2 slices each prosciutto and a layer of sliced cucumber. Season with pepper. Sandwich with remaining bread slices, buttered side down. With a sharp knife, cut off crusts, then cut each sandwich in half on the diagonal. Serve immediately or transfer to a platter and refrigerate, covered with plastic wrap, up to 3 hours.

CUCUMBER TEA SANDWICHES

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together the butter, parsley, chives, shallot and lemon zest.
• Lay the bread slices out on a clean work surface. Spread 2 teaspoons of the compound butter over each slice of bread. Trim the cucumber slices so that they are the length of the bread slices. (Save the scraps for salads.) Lay 4 pieces of cucumber across 1 slice of buttered bread--it is okay if the cucumbers overlap. Repeat on 5 more slices of bread. Season the top of the cucumbers lightly with salt. Next, add a single layer of radishes over the cucumbers, about 12 rounds per slice of bread.
• Toss the frisee with the lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Divide the frisee evenly over the radishes. Top the frisee with the remaining 6 slices buttered bread. Cut each sandwich into thirds with a serrated knife to make small rectangles. Serve immediately.

CUCUMBER AND BUTTER TEA SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Use a mandolin to cut cucumber into very thin slices. Lay slices on paper towels to drain.
• Spread a little butter on each slice of bread. Sprinkle the slices with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Layer overlapping cucumber slices on bread slices.
• Cut crust off sandwiches and then cut sandwiches into quarters.

HERBED CHEESE CUCUMBER AND RADISH TEA SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Combine the cream cheese, goat cheese, butter, Parmesan, lemon juice and garlic in a small food processor and process until very smooth and light. Transfer to a medium bowl and stir in the chives, parsley and dill. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until chilled but still spreadable, about 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Spread the bread on a baking sheet and bake, flipping the pieces once, until lightly toasted but not colored, about 10 minutes. Let cool.
• To serve, spread the cheese mixture on the toasts. Top with the sliced cucumber and radishes and garnish with dill sprigs.

CUCUMBER SANDWICHES WITH HERB BUTTER

Steps:

• Using a mandoline or a very sharp knife, cut the cucumber into thin slices and place them on a paper towel. You will need about 18 cucumber slices. Salt the cucumber lightly and cover with a paper towel. Let stand for 20 minutes so that any excess moisture is absorbed.
• In a small bowl or a blender, combine the butter with the chopped dill. Using a small spatula, lightly spread the dill butter on each slice of bread. Be sure to butter the bread all the way to the edges so that the slices stay moist and don't curl.
• Place 9 or more cucumber slices on one slice of bread, layering them in 3 rows. Top with a second slice of bread. Using a serrated knife, cut the sandwich diagonally to create two triangles. Repeat, using the remaining cucumber slices and slices of bread.
