    For an afternoon tea party, cucumber sandwiches are a favorite. When presented with an array of traditional tea sandwiches, cookies and cakes, I always choose the cucumber tea sandwiches first! There is something so refreshing about biting into a snappy cucumber! And when it’s sandwiched between flavorful cream cheese, well, it’s just divine!

    How to make a cucumber sandwich

    A lovely finger sandwich, cucumber tea sandwiches are simple to make. You can add just about any herb or spice you like to the cream cheese. We like the combo of lemon or lime pepper, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, onion powder and dill mixed with cream cheese and a bit of mayo. Also, try cutting the cucumbers with a mandolin to get perfect thin slices.

    How to prepare the cucumbers

    Peel the cucumber and slice very thin. If you use a thin-skinned English cucumber, you can skip peeling it. Place cucumber slices between 2 paper towels set in a colander, then allow liquid to drain, about 10 minutes.

    Spreading herbed cream cheese

    Next, spread approximately one tablespoon cream cheese mixture on each slice of bread. You'll be slicing off the crusts, so don't worry about spreading all the way to the edges. 

    Arrange cucumbers

    Then, arrange cucumber slices generously on one slice of bread, then top with a second slice of bread. Repeat until you have five sandwiches.

    Sandwich Cutting Techniques

    To cut, stack three to four sandwiches together and gently slice off the crusts with a serrated knife. I like to do this with an electric knife because it's easy to cut gently without pressing down too hard. While sandwiches are stacked, gently slice them on a diagonal for half sandwiches, or cut across again to make quarter sandwiches.

    These are a delicious addition to afternoon tea, but they’re also a yummy lunch sandwich. Especially on a hot day, nothing can beat that cool refreshing crunch.

    These cucumber tea sandwiches are so pretty. And they're as easy as they are delicious. If you're just having one for lunch, you don't need to cut them in quarters, but then they look so cute; don't they?

    Enjoy!
