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.

OPEN FACE SANDWICHES

Eggs are tasty and healthy but they can be fun too! Make these Open Face Sandwiches for a nutritious and delicious meal.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Yield Makes 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

7 large eggs
1/4 cup mayonnaise, plus more for spreading
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
4 slices sandwich bread
Sliced ham, lettuce, sliced olives, peas, bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, pickles, and grated carrot, for toppings

Steps:

  • Make egg salad: In a medium saucepan, cover eggs with water. Bring to a boil; cook, uncovered, 2 minutes. Cover pan, and remove from heat; let stand 10 minutes. Hold eggs under cold running water to stop the cooking. Peel eggs.
  • Slice 2 eggs with a knife or an egg slicer. Set aside eight of the slices for eyes, and place remaining pieces in a bowl. Add unsliced eggs to bowl, and mash with a fork. Add mayonnaise, mustard, salt, and pepper; stir to combine.
  • Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise over each slice of bread. Cover bread with egg salad, or layer on sliced ham. Make faces using the egg-yolk slices, egg salad, and the remaining toppings, as desired. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose firm cucumbers for better slicing and fewer seeds. English or Persian cucumbers are ideal for this recipe.
  • To make the herbed cream cheese, use fresh herbs like chives, dill, and parsley for the best flavor. If using dried herbs, reduce the amount by half.
  • For a tangy cream cheese, add a squeeze of lemon juice or a teaspoon of capers.
  • Spread the cream cheese on the bread slices before topping with the cucumbers for a neater presentation.
  • If you don't have time to make the herbed cream cheese, use store-bought cream cheese and add your own herbs.
  • For a vegetarian option, use plant-based bread and cream cheese.
  • To make the sandwiches ahead of time, assemble them and store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours. Bring them to room temperature before serving.

Conclusion:

Open-faced sandwiches with herbed cream cheese and baby cucumber are a refreshing and easy-to-make appetizer or lunch option. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and visually appealing dish that is perfect for any occasion.
