Time 10m

Yield 16 triangles, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

10 cilantro leaves, washed
1 serrano pepper
3 garlic cloves
1 cup Hellmann's mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4-1/2 teaspoon salt, depending on taste
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
8 slices white bread
1/4 English cucumber, thinly sliced
3/4 cup finely shredded colby cheese or 3/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Blend all ingredients for the spread in a food processor until smooth. Should be slightly thick. You might need to add a few tablespoons of water to ease the process. The spread should have a spicy yet slightly sweet taste.
  • Spread some of the mixture on one slice of bread. Top with cucumber slices and some cheese. Spread another slice and place on top. Cut off the crusts and cut the sandwiches diagonally so you get four triangles.
  • Repeat with rest of bread.
  • You can assemble, pack in an airtight container, and refrigerate up to 2 hours. They taste best at room temperature.
  • I keep the crusts and my daughter and I eat them as snacks.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cucumbers: Use firm, unwaxed English or Persian cucumbers for the best results.
  • Peel the cucumbers thinly: This will help the sandwiches look more delicate and elegant.
  • Use a sharp knife: This will help you cut the cucumbers evenly and thinly.
  • Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly: This will help to keep the sandwiches from becoming soggy.
  • Top with your favorite fillings: Some popular options include smoked salmon, dill, and capers.
  • Chill the sandwiches before serving: This will help them to set and make them easier to eat.

Cucumber finger sandwiches are a refreshing, easy-to-make appetizer that is perfect for any occasion. With their delicate flavor and elegant appearance, they are sure to impress your guests.
