Description

Light, refreshing cucumber tea sandwiches with a creamy spread, perfect for afternoon tea or elegant gatherings.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 8 slices white or whole wheat sandwich bread
  • 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Butter, softened (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, mayonnaise, dill, chives, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  2. Optional: Lightly butter one side of each bread slice to prevent sogginess.
  3. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture onto each slice of bread.
  4. Layer thin cucumber slices over half of the bread slices.
  5. Top with the remaining bread slices to form sandwiches.
  6. Trim the crusts off the sandwiches for a clean look.
  7. Cut each sandwich into halves or quarters, depending on your preference.
  8. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

  • Use English cucumbers for fewer seeds and a milder flavor.
  • Pat the cucumber slices dry with a paper towel to avoid soggy sandwiches.
  • For variety, add a sprinkle of lemon zest to the cream cheese spread.
