• In a medium mixing bowl, combine cream cheese, whipping cream, salt, and pepper. Beat at medium-high speed with a mixer until blended. Add dill, chives, and parsley, stirring well.
• Using a mandoline or a chef's knife, cut 40 very thin slices from cucumber.
• Spread a layer of cream cheese mixture onto bread slices. On 5 bread slices, arrange 8 overlapping cucumber slices on top of cream cheese layer. Top with remaining 5 bread slices, cream cheese side down, to make 5 sandwiches.

CUCUMBER TEA SANDWICHES

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together the butter, parsley, chives, shallot and lemon zest.
• Lay the bread slices out on a clean work surface. Spread 2 teaspoons of the compound butter over each slice of bread. Trim the cucumber slices so that they are the length of the bread slices. (Save the scraps for salads.) Lay 4 pieces of cucumber across 1 slice of buttered bread--it is okay if the cucumbers overlap. Repeat on 5 more slices of bread. Season the top of the cucumbers lightly with salt. Next, add a single layer of radishes over the cucumbers, about 12 rounds per slice of bread.
• Toss the frisee with the lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Divide the frisee evenly over the radishes. Top the frisee with the remaining 6 slices buttered bread. Cut each sandwich into thirds with a serrated knife to make small rectangles. Serve immediately.
