CUCUMBER TEA SANDWICHES



Cucumber Tea Sandwiches image

Provided by Valerie Bertinelli

Categories     appetizer

Time 25m

Yield 18 tea sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 stick (4 ounces) salted Irish butter, such as Kerrygold, at room temperature
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon chopped chives
1 tablespoon finely minced shallot
1 teaspoon lemon zest plus juice of 1/2 lemon
12 slices brioche bread (1/2-inch slices), crusts removed
24 thin lengthwise slices Persian cucumber (1/4-inch slices)
Kosher salt
3 to 4 small red radishes, thinly sliced into rounds
1 cup frisee, broken into small pieces

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.

One of my favorite tea sandwiches is Ms. Jenny Benedictine's cucumber spread. This is a little twist on that spread. It's got a bit more herbs in it that her original recipe. Great for an afternoon snack or a fancy tea-time tray. Passive time is chill time.

I couldn't believe that this simple, yet delicious, tea sandwich isn't here on 'Zaar! This is so good! I've used this for my cooking class, and even those teenagers who said they didn't like cucumbers, gobbled these up! If you want, you can use an English cucumber, then you don't have to peel it! I'm guessing on the servings amount.
