ENGLISH TEA CUCUMBER SANDWICHES

Steps:

• 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 with spread sides down over the cucumber slices to make sandwiches.

CUCUMBER MINT TEA SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Place cucumber slices between layers of paper towels to remove excess moisture.
• In a small bowl, combine the mint, butter, and cream cheese; spread on one side of each slice of bread. Lay the cucumber slices onto the buttered side of 8 slices of bread. Sprinkle with salt. Top with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side down.
• Gently cut the crusts from each sandwich with a sharp knife. Cut the sandwiches in half diagonally and then cut in half again.
• Makes 8 whole sandwiches, or 16 halves, or 32 fourths.

CUCUMBER AVOCADO TEA SANDWICHES WITH DILL & MINT

Steps:

• Remove the pit from the avocados, and scoop into a food processor along with the lemon juice and salt. Puree until completely smooth, scraping down the sides ith a rubber spatula as necessary.
• Add the cucumber and pulse until cucumber is finely chopped.
• Add the mint and dill and pulse again so combine. You just want them well incorporated into the mid, not pureed.
• Let the mixture sit for 10 minutes or so to let the flavors marry, and then taste for salt and seasonings.
• Arrange the sliced of bread on the counter. Spread the avocado mixture onto all 12 slices.
• Add a single layer of cucumber on 6 of the slices.
• Close each sandwich.
• Use a steak knife to cut off the crusts.
• With a gentle touch (so as not to squish the filling out too much), cut each sandwich into 4 equal pieces, either squares or triangles.
• Serve topped with extra herbs, or lettuce.

CUCUMBER AND LEMONY DILL CREAM CHEESE TEA SANDWICHES

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, fresh dill, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Season the mixture with salt and pepper.
• Lay the slices of bread on your work service and distribute the cream cheese evenly among each slice, spreading into a thin layer. Arrange the cucumber slices in rows over 3 slices of the bread. Top with the remaining bread, and cut into quarters so there are 4 pieces from each sandwich. Serve immediately.
