材料

16 slices high-quality soft white sandwich bread (about 1 loaf), crusts removed)

1 English cucumber

8 ounces cream cheese (, softened)

1/4 cup mayonnaise

1 tablespoon minced fresh dill

1 tablespoon minced fresh chives

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon coarse salt

Cracked black pepper (, to taste)

手順

You'll need 16 slices of soft, high quality white sandwich bread. Remove the crusts and set aside.

Peel an English cucumber in stripes.

Then cut the cucumber into 1/8-inch thin slices using a mandolin or sharp knife.

Place the slices on paper towels and sprinkle with coarse salt. Let rest for 15-30 minutes to extract moisture. Pat dry with clean paper towels.

In the meantime, make the spread. In a medium bowl, using a handheld mixer, blend together 8 ounces softened cream cheese, 1/4 cup mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon EACH minced fresh dill, minced fresh chives, and lemon juice, and a 1/4 teaspoon EACH garlic powder and coarse salt.

Spread one side of each slice of bread with the herbed cream cheese.

Layer cucumber slices over half of the bread slices. Season with fresh cracked black pepper, to taste. Top with remaining bread slices, cream cheese mixture down. (At this point, you'll have 8 full sandwiches.)

Using a sharp Chef's knife, cut each sandwich into quarters, pushing through the bread down to the bottom. So you have 32 tea sandwiches.

Serve right away and enjoy!
