Tips:

  • Choose the freshest cucumbers you can find. This will ensure that your sandwiches are crisp and flavorful.
  • Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the cucumbers. This will help to prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • If you're using salted butter, be sure to let it come to room temperature before spreading it on the bread. This will make it easier to spread and will help to prevent the bread from tearing.
  • Add a layer of cream cheese to the sandwiches for extra richness and flavor.
  • Garnish the sandwiches with fresh herbs, such as dill or chives. This will add a pop of color and flavor.
  • Serve the sandwiches immediately, or wrap them tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate them for later.
