proper cucumber sandwiches

for 6 pieces of bread:

In a food processor, combine 3 oz. cream cheese with 2 Tablespoons real mayonnaise, 1 teaspoon minced, fresh garlic and 2 teaspoons dry Italian seasoning. Mix until fully incorporated. Spread the mixture evenly among 6 slices of sandwich bread.

Sprinkle with salt and freshly ground pepper.

Top with thin slices of cucumber (peeled or unpeeled.)

Put the tops on the sandwiches. Using a sharp chef’s knife, remove the crusts.

Cut into fourths and voila…the quintessential, English cucumber sandwich.

(recipe variation ~ add fresh basil leaves! shown in photo at very top)

We enjoyed a lovely afternoon…

 

I served the lunch in my new favorite style…
