Cucumbers everywhere, try some cucumber sandwiches. They are a great treat or snack. I like to bring them into the office and share with my co-workers.
Spread mix:
- Cream cheese (4oz to start out)
- Mayo 2 Tablespoons
- fresh basil chopped fine
I have tried the sandwiches without the mayo but my co-workers all agree the versions with the mayo taste better.
Mix the ingredients in regular bowl large enough to hold the ingredients. I use a fork to mash together. It might be good to let the cream cheese warm up a bit, if you just took it out of the refrigerator.
- Take two slices of your favorite sandwich bread and spread the spread mixture on one side
- place 1/8th inch thick slices of cucumbers on the spread
- match up the slices into a sandwich and cut off the crust. (if you are really creative save the crust and use it in a gazpacho soup)
- Then cut the sandwich into smaller sandwiches (I usually get 6 little sandwiches out of one regular sandwich). It takes a little practice to not push the small sandwiches apart. A good sharp knife helps a lot.
