The simple and delicious Cucumber-Boursin Tea Sandwiches are a delightful bite.
Cucumber-Boursin Tea Sandwiches
Yield: 12
Ingredients
- 6 slices very thin white sandwich bread, frozen
- 1 (5.2-ounce) package shallot and chive–flavored Boursin cheese, at room temperature
- 1 (6-inch) section English cucumber with peel, finely chopped
Instructions
- Using a 2¹⁄8-inch flower-shaped cutter, cut 24 shapes from frozen bread slices. Using a ¾-inch round cutter, cut centers from 12 flower shapes.
- Place cheese in a piping bag fitted with a medium round tip (Wilton #12), and pipe cheese around edges of 12 solid bread flowers, filling centers. Place a bread flower with a center cutout on top of cheese. Place sandwiches in a resealable plastic bag, or cover with damp paper towels while bread defrosts to prevent sandwiches from drying out.
- Just before serving, fill centers of tea sandwiches with chopped cucumber.
Notes
Make-Ahead Tip: Flower shapes can be cut from bread a day in advance and stored in a resealable plastic bag to retain freshness. Sandwiches can be assembled a few hours in advance, covered with damp paper towels, and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator until serving time.
