BENEDICTINE TEA SANDWICHES
Cool, light, refreshing taste treat for hot summer days. The combination of cucumber, cream cheese and dill is to die for! Adjust amount of onion to personal taste. I tasted this when the wife of an associate made them years ago. I muddled around until I came up with this recipe which is as close as I could get to the original. The recipe originated in Kentucky, I believe.

Steps:
- Place grated cucumber in colander and sprinkle with salt. Toss to coat and let stand for 20 minutes. Drain and press out as much moisture as possible. Pat with paper towels to remove any remaining moisture.
- With paddle attachment on stand mixer, beat mayo, cream cheese, onion*, dill & garlic until creamy.
- Add drained cucumber and mix well. Salt to taste if needed.
- Spread mixture on white sandwich bread. Slice off crusts. Cut sandwiches into driangles or diamonds or seal with a sandwich press** if desired (see note below).
- *Walla Walla, Vidalia, or Mayan onions work best - must be sweet onions so they don't overpower the delicate balance of the other ingredients.
- **If using a sandwich press, cut bread first, place filling in, then press to seal (this keeps the edges clean so they will seal better).
- If not serving immediately, refrigerate, covered.

Steps:
- Working in batches if necessary, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
- While the bacon is cooking, grate the cucumber on the large holes of a box grater. Wrap the grated cucumber in cheesecloth and squeeze to remove as much liquid as possible.
- Combine the cream cheese and mayonnaise in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and mix until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the cucumber and red onion and mix until combined, about 30 seconds. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
- To assemble the sandwiches, divide the cream cheese mixture evenly between 4 slices of bread. Break the strips of bacon in half and top each sandwich with 4 halves. Sprinkle the borage petals over the top, then cover with the remaining four slices of bread and press down firmly. Cut away the crusts. Slice the sandwiches diagonally in half and then diagonally again, to make triangles. Serve.
Tips:
- For the classic Benedictine, use English muffins. For a more substantial sandwich, try sourdough or a croissant.
- Make sure the hollandaise sauce is warm and creamy. If it's too thick, add a little milk or water. If it's too thin, whisk in a little more butter.
- Use fresh, ripe tomatoes and avocado. If your tomatoes are not very flavorful, add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
- Don't overcook the eggs. They should be cooked through but still have a slightly runny yolk.
- Serve the sandwiches immediately, while the hollandaise sauce is still warm.
