Classic Cucumber Sandwiches

Let’s not forget the basics. Here’s a great start. The amount you make is up to you.

  • Cucumbers
  • Thin sliced white bread
  • Whipped cream cheese or unsalted butter softened
  • Salt

Peel cucumbers and slice very thin. Sprinkle the slices with a little salt and lay on paper towels to drain. For each sandwich spread a little cream cheese or butter on two slices of bread. Layer the cucumber slices on one slice of bread (no thicker than 1/4 inch). Cut crust off sandwiches and then cut into squares, triangles or other fun shapes using cookie cutters.
