CUCUMBER TEA SANDWICHES



Cucumber Tea Sandwiches image

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     appetizer

Time 25m

Yield 18 tea sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 stick (4 ounces) salted Irish butter, such as Kerrygold, at room temperature
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped chives
1 tablespoon finely minced shallot
1 teaspoon lemon zest plus juice of 1/2 lemon
12 slices brioche bread (1/2-inch slices), crusts removed
24 thin lengthwise slices Persian cucumber (1/4-inch slices)
Kosher salt
3 to 4 small red radishes, thinly sliced into rounds
1 cup frisee, broken into small pieces

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 SHRIMP TEA SANDWICHES



Cucumber Shrimp Tea Sandwiches image

I think tea sandwiches are just so cute and elegant. The recipe for these came from a wonderful fund raiser party for the theater where I volunteer and used to be the box office manager.

From what I observed, people will pick up two at a time and possibly return for more.

CHRISTA'S CUCUMBER BASIL TEA SANDWICHES



Christa's Cucumber Basil Tea Sandwiches image

This recipe is from years of searching for the perfect English tea sandwich. I always looked forward to tea time in the Caribbean with my grandparents who were from English descent. My grandmother was French and my grandfather was from Guyana. My grandfather's parents were from England, so there is the British influence. You can add a teaspoon of dill to your spread.

LEMON CUCUMBER TEA SANDWICHES WITH MINTY MAYONNAISE (OR HUMMUS)



Lemon Cucumber Tea Sandwiches With Minty Mayonnaise (Or Hummus) image

I replaced standard cucumbers with lemon cucumbers from our garden! Adapted from ichef.com with a nod and hat doff to another site (grouprecipes.com) for the hummus idea. If you dislike mint, try another fresh herb: basil is always an excellent choice, lovage, salad burnet or good ol' parsley. For a more substantial meal, add greens-arugula, baby spinach, loose leaf lettuce; perhaps some finely minced shallots, heirloom toms, ad infinitum...

Provided by COOKGIRl

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 20m

Yield 16 tea sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 egg yolk
1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/3 cup fresh mint leaves, loosely packed
1/2 cup sunflower oil
salt, to taste
cracked black pepper or white pepper, to taste
8 thin slices homemade wheat bread, your choice to remove crusts (ok to substitute white or multi grain bread-we used a 9-grain bread with sunflower seeds)
3 lemon cucumbers, peeled and thinly sliced (approximately)
greens, washed and dried (optional)

Steps:

  • Note: If you have concerns about the raw egg yolk, use a good quality store bought mayonnaise or substitute cream cheese (softened). For a vegan version, replace the mayonnaise with hummus or a mayo' substitute: Recipe #754 for example.
  • Minty Mayonnaise: in a blender or food processor, combine the egg yolks, mustard, lemon juice, and mint.
  • With motor running, add the oil in a slow steady stream and blend until emulsified. Season to taste with salt and pepper and transfer to a bowl.
  • Tea Sandwiches: Spread each slice of bread generously on one side with the mayonnaise.
  • On half the slices, arrange an even layer of lemon cucumber slices. Top with remaining bread slices.
  • Cut each sandwich into quarters before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the freshest cucumbers possible. The fresher the cucumbers, the better the flavor of your sandwiches will be. Look for cucumbers that are firm and have a deep green color. Avoid cucumbers that are yellow or have soft spots.
  • Peel the cucumbers thinly. This will help to prevent the sandwiches from becoming soggy. Use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin from the cucumbers in long, thin strips.
  • Slice the cucumbers thinly. The thinner the cucumber slices, the more delicate the sandwiches will be. Use a sharp knife to slice the cucumbers into rounds that are about 1/8-inch thick.
  • Use a good quality bread. The bread you use for your sandwiches will make a big difference in the overall flavor. Look for a bread that is soft and fluffy, and that has a slightly sweet flavor. Avoid using bread that is dry or crumbly.
  • Spread the bread with butter or cream cheese. This will help to keep the sandwiches moist and flavorful. If you are using butter, make sure it is softened so that it is easy to spread. If you are using cream cheese, make sure it is at room temperature so that it is soft and spreadable.
  • Add your cucumber slices and other fillings. Once you have spread the bread with butter or cream cheese, add your cucumber slices and any other fillings you desire. Some popular fillings for cucumber sandwiches include thinly sliced ham, turkey, chicken, or salmon. You can also add a layer of lettuce, tomato, or sprouts.
  • Cut the sandwiches into triangles or squares. Once you have assembled your sandwiches, cut them into triangles or squares. This will make them easier to eat and will also make them look more appealing.

Conclusion:

Cucumber tea sandwiches are a refreshing and delicious treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own personal taste. Whether you prefer them simple with just cucumbers and cream cheese, or you like to add a variety of fillings, cucumber tea sandwiches are sure to please everyone. So next time you are looking for a light and refreshing snack, give cucumber tea sandwiches a try. You won't be disappointed!
