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.

CUCUMBER TEA SANDWICHES

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 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.

Tips for Making the Perfect Cucumber Sandwiches:

  • Use fresh, crisp cucumbers. Cucumbers that are old or wilted will not make good sandwiches.
  • Peel the cucumbers thinly. This will help the sandwiches look more delicate and will also prevent the cucumber from being too tough.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the cucumbers into thin slices. This will help to prevent the sandwiches from becoming soggy.
  • Spread the butter or cream cheese evenly on the bread. This will help to keep the sandwiches from becoming dry.
  • Add your favorite fillings to the sandwiches. Some popular fillings include cream cheese, dill, chives, and smoked salmon.
  • Cut the sandwiches into small triangles or squares. This will make them easier to eat and will also make them look more festive.
  • Serve the sandwiches immediately. Cucumber sandwiches are best when they are fresh.

Conclusion:

Cucumber sandwiches are a classic tea party food that is both delicious and easy to make. By following these tips, you can make the perfect cucumber sandwiches that will impress your guests. So next time you're hosting a tea party, be sure to include cucumber sandwiches on the menu.
