Cucumber, Tomato and Cheddar Sandwich image

My hubby introduced me to this interesting sandwich. I thought it was strange until I tried it!!! I recommend using the butter, but if you prefer not to please don't use margarine; you can use mayonnaise instead. This also works great for finger sandwiches!

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.

CHEDDAR, CUCUMBER AND MARMALADE SANDWICHES



Cheddar, Cucumber and Marmalade Sandwiches image

Melissa Clark came up with this recipe in 2011, a sandwich for her daughter, against the one she made for herself with Branston pickle in place of the marmalade. (Branston pickle is a British pickled chutney, made with vegetables, that dates back to the early 20th century.) You can certainly make the grown-up version. But this sweet, salty, cool variety is close to perfect for lunch or a light dinner.
