Yield Makes 6 finger sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 slices extra-thin white bread
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, room temperature
2 large hard-boiled eggs, peeled and finely grated
2 tablespoons creme fraiche
1/2 bunch fresh mint, leaves picked and finely chopped
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 English cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced lengthwise

Steps:

  • Spread one side of each slice of bread with butter. Set aside. In a small bowl combine eggs, creme fraiche, and mint. Season with salt and pepper. Spread egg mixture to a 1/4-inch thickness on 2 slices bread. Top with sliced cucumber, and cover with the remaining slices of bread. Remove crusts, and cut each sandwich into three equal fingers.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cucumbers. English cucumbers are best for sandwiches because they are long, thin, and have a mild flavor. If you use regular cucumbers, peel them and remove the seeds before slicing.
  • Slice the cucumbers thinly. This will help them to fit better in the sandwiches and make them easier to eat.
  • Use fresh mint. Dried mint will not have the same flavor or aroma as fresh mint.
  • Don't overstuff the sandwiches. You want the sandwiches to be easy to eat without falling apart.
  • Serve the sandwiches immediately. Mint cucumber sandwiches are best when eaten fresh.

Conclusion:

Mint cucumber sandwiches are a refreshing and easy-to-make summer treat. They are perfect for picnics, potlucks, or any other summer gathering. With just a few simple ingredients, you can make a delicious and healthy snack or lunch that everyone will enjoy.
