CUCUMBER SANDWICH RECIPE



Cucumber Sandwich Recipe image

The easiest and best tasting cucumber sandwich you can make!

Provided by Christina Conte

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.

MUST-TRY CUCUMBER SANDWICH RECIPE



Must-Try Cucumber Sandwich Recipe image

Easy cucumber sandwich recipe without cream cheese perfect for parties, picnics, or light lunches! You'll love the creamy labneh spread with olive oil and plenty of fresh herbs! Use soft white sandwich bread (as fresh as possible!) and English cucumbers for best results. If using garden cucumbers, be sure to peel off the waxy skin first. Serve cucumber sandwiches with other finger foods and little desserts like tomato and feta bites, antipasto skewers, biscotti, and butter cookies.

EASY CUCUMBER PARTY SANDWICHES



Easy Cucumber Party Sandwiches image

These easy, beautiful, yummy sandwiches are perfect for brunches, tea parties or spring and summer lunches. Can be prepared ahead of time and assembled just before serving. This is an easy appetizer to prepare the day before, except for the assembly. The cream cheese mixture is actually better after about 8 hours. Feel free to experiment with the dressing; we prefer the buttermilk dressing but ranch or Italian works great, too. Also, cocktail bread can be substituted for the hand-cut bread, which will save 10 to 15 minutes.

ITALIAN CUCUMBER SANDWICHES



Italian Cucumber Sandwiches image

These are great for any type of party or gathering, and I never come home with leftovers. I've even eaten the "extra stuff" for breakfast the next day! This is a fairly salty tasting appetizer, so if you're not up for all the salt, add an extra 1/2 Cup of mayo to the mixture. It's trial and error in my house.

Provided by Shannon Delatore

Categories     Vegetable Appetizers

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 c real mayonnaise
1 pkg zesty italian or italian salad dressing mix
1 cucumber, peeled and sliced
1 loaf of party or cocktail style rye bread

Steps:

  • 1. 24 hours before, mix the mayo and dressing mix in a small bowl. Make sure it's mixed completely. Refrigerate until you're ready to use it.
  • 2. On the day you're going to be serving it, peel and slice the cucumber. Thickness is a personal preference. I like mine about the thickness in the picture, or even a little thicker.
  • 3. Put your mayo mixture into a zipper bag and snip a corner off (about the size of a nickel).
  • 4. Squirt a dollop of mayo mixture onto each slice of bread. I usually squirt about a tablespoon or so, but it's not rocket science. Just squirt some! Use the cucumber slice to "smush" it onto the bread so you don't have to spread it with a knife. This saves a LOT of time.
  • 5. The number of cucumbers you'll need depends upon how big they are (too big and you'll lose flavor) and how thick you like them. I always like to buy two medium sized ones, just to make sure I have enough. Leftover ingredients are great for breakfast! No kidding!

I couldn't believe that this simple, yet delicious, tea sandwich isn't here on 'Zaar! This is so good! I've used this for my cooking class, and even those teenagers who said they didn't like cucumbers, gobbled these up! If you want, you can use an English cucumber, then you don't have to peel it! I'm guessing on the servings amount.
