Classic Cucumber Sandwiches
 
Makes 6
Ingredients
  • ¼ cup unsalted European-style butter, softened
  • 4 slices white bread
  • 1 English cucumber, thinly sliced*
  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
  1. Spread a layer of butter onto all bread slices. On butter side of 2 bread slices, shingle 5 to 6 cucumber slices in a crosswise fashion, trimming excess. Sprinkle with pepper. Cover with remaining bread slices, butter side down, to make 2 whole sandwiches.
  2. Using a long, serrated bread knife in a gentle sawing motion, trim and discard crusts from sandwiches. Cut each sandwich into 3 finger sandwiches. Serve immediately, or cover with damp paper towels, place in a covered container, refrigerate, and serve within an hour.
Notes
*We used a mandoline.
