Make quick and easy classic English tea sandwiches for very refreshing snack in the afternoon. And yes, the other day I was reading The Importance of Being Earnest again and thought I had to make cucumber sandwiches soon.

 

Cucumber Sandwich Recipe – Tea Sandwiches

For 2 people

Ingredients

• 4 slices sandwich bread
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 large cucumber
• Salt and pepper for seasoning

Directions

First, peel the cucumber with vegetable peeler and cut in three parts. And slice them. Today I keep the seeds but if your cucumber seeds are liquidy unlike mine, it’s better to remove the seeds for sandwiches.

Then spread softened butter on a sandwich bread. And season with salt and pepper. Then arrange the cucumber slices over it. And top with another slice of buttered sandwich bread. Today I am using wheat bread but for tea sandwiches generally white sandwich breads are used.

Bon appetit.

I love simple and refreshing cucumber sandwiches with black tea. So English!

“Please don’t touch cucumber sandwiches. They are ordered specially for Aunt Augusta.”

Thank you for watching. Bye for now.
