Borage, Benedictine and Bacon Sandwiches image

Provided by Damaris Phillips

Time 1h20m

Yield 16 tea sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 strips bacon
1 large cucumber, peeled and seeded
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 1/2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped red onion
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 slices country wheat bread
2 cups fresh borage petals or microgreens or baby arugula

Steps:

  • Working in batches if necessary, cook the bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
  • While the bacon is cooking, grate the cucumber on the large holes of a box grater. Wrap the grated cucumber in cheesecloth and squeeze to remove as much liquid as possible.
  • Combine the cream cheese and mayonnaise in a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment and mix until smooth, about 1 minute. Add the cucumber and red onion and mix until combined, about 30 seconds. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  • To assemble the sandwiches, divide the cream cheese mixture evenly between 4 slices of bread. Break the strips of bacon in half and top each sandwich with 4 halves. Sprinkle the borage petals over the top, then cover with the remaining four slices of bread and press down firmly. Cut away the crusts. Slice the sandwiches diagonally in half and then diagonally again, to make triangles. Serve.

I couldn't find borlotti beans at my local grocery store, so I used black beans instead. The sandwich was still delicious, but I think the borlotti beans would have been better.

This sandwich was a bit too rich for my taste, but it was still good. I think I'll try it again with less Benedictine spread.

I was skeptical about the borlotti beans, but they added a delicious nutty flavor to the sandwich. The Benedictine spread was also a nice touch, it gave the sandwich a creamy richness.
