LEMON CUCUMBER TEA SANDWICHES WITH MINTY MAYONNAISE (OR HUMMUS)
I replaced standard cucumbers with lemon cucumbers from our garden! Adapted from ichef.com with a nod and hat doff to another site (grouprecipes.com) for the hummus idea. If you dislike mint, try another fresh herb: basil is always an excellent choice, lovage, salad burnet or good ol' parsley. For a more substantial meal, add greens-arugula, baby spinach, loose leaf lettuce; perhaps some finely minced shallots, heirloom toms, ad infinitum...

Steps:
- Note: If you have concerns about the raw egg yolk, use a good quality store bought mayonnaise or substitute cream cheese (softened). For a vegan version, replace the mayonnaise with hummus or a mayo' substitute: Recipe #754 for example.
- Minty Mayonnaise: in a blender or food processor, combine the egg yolks, mustard, lemon juice, and mint.
- With motor running, add the oil in a slow steady stream and blend until emulsified. Season to taste with salt and pepper and transfer to a bowl.
- Tea Sandwiches: Spread each slice of bread generously on one side with the mayonnaise.
- On half the slices, arrange an even layer of lemon cucumber slices. Top with remaining bread slices.
- Cut each sandwich into quarters before serving.

Steps:
- In a small bowl combine the mint, the butter, and the cream cheese and stir the mixture until it is combined well. Spread the bread slices with the butter mixture, top 3 of them with the cucumber, distributing the cucumber evenly and seasoning it with salt, and top the cucumber with the remaining bread slices. Cut off and discard the crusts and cut each sandwich diagonally into quarters.
Tips:
- Choose the right cucumber: English or Persian cucumbers are best for this recipe, as they have thin skins and small seeds.
- Chill the cucumbers before slicing: This will help them stay crisp and refreshing.
- Use fresh herbs: Mint, chives, and dill are all great choices for adding flavor to cucumber sandwiches.
- Don't overmix the egg salad: Overmixing can make the egg salad dry and crumbly.
- Season the egg salad to taste: Add salt, pepper, and mayonnaise to taste.
- Use a light hand when spreading the egg salad: You don't want the sandwiches to be too heavy.
- Serve the sandwiches immediately: Cucumber sandwiches are best when they are fresh.
