CUCUMBER TEA SANDWICHES

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.

GRANDMA'S CUCUMBER TEA SANDWICHES



Grandma's Cucumber Tea Sandwiches image

My Grandma and her sisters got together every couple of weeks to play bridge. She always made these sandwiches when it was her turn to host--and spent most of the day in the kitchen guarding the refrigerator to keep all the rest of us from stealing them! I changed the bread to whole wheat, as I like it better, but you can use whatever suits you--we also use pumpernickel or rye.

Tips:

  • Be sure to spread the butter or cream cheese all the way to the edges of the bread, so the sandwiches don't get soggy.
  • If you're using a soft cheese, such as cream cheese or Boursin, chill the sandwiches for at least 30 minutes before serving, so the cheese has time to firm up.
  • For a fun twist, try using different types of bread, such as rye or pumpernickel.
  • You can also add other ingredients to your sandwiches, such as thinly sliced ham, turkey, or bacon.
  • If you're packing these sandwiches for lunch, be sure to wrap them tightly in plastic wrap or aluminum foil.
