Cucumber Sandwiches
These refreshing cucumber sandwiches are filled with a savory cream cheese spread. Depending on the way you cut the bread, these can be served as a party appetizer, afternoon tea, or a simple lunchtime sandwich.
Ingredients
- 1 cucumber peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 8 ounce package cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion salt
- 1 dash Worcestershire sauce
- 1 1 pound loaf sliced bread, crusts removed
- 1 pinch lemon pepper Optional
Instructions
- Gather the ingredients.
- Place cucumber slices between 2 paper towels set in a colander. Allow liquid to drain, about 10 minutes.
- Mix cream cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, onion salt, and Worcestershire sauce in a bowl until smooth.
- Spread cream cheese mixture evenly on one side of each bread slice.
- Divide cucumber slices over half of the bread slices; sprinkle lemon pepper on cucumber.
- Stack the other half of the bread slices spread-side down over cucumber to make sandwiches; slice into triangles.
Notes
To serve as a party appetizer, cut bread slices into rounds with a cookie cutter. Spread with cream cheese mixture and top each with a cucumber slice. Yields approximately 48 rounds.
To make these the night before, cover with slightly damp paper towels, then cover with foil; store in the refrigerator.
