Cucumber Sandwiches
Cucumber sandwiches are a nice finger food idea for a baby shower. Especially for an afternoon tea shower. They're really easy to make too.
Ingredients
English cucumber
Thinly sliced bread
Butter, at room temperature
Salt
How to make
Step 1 - Carefully cut the crusts off of the bread slices.
Step 2 - Spread one side of each slice of bread with butter. Set aside.
Step 3 - Peel the cucumber - a vegetable peeler works well for this job.
Step 4 - Slice the cucumber really thinly.
Step 5 - Arrange a layer of cucumber on a slice of buttered bread. Then lightly salt if desired.
Step 6 - Top with another slice of buttered bread
Step 7 - Cut the sandwich into 4 neat triangles.
Step 8 - Then simply repeat steps 5 to 7 with the remaining slices of buttered bread, and cucumber.
Cook's tip
Cucumber sandwiches can be made a little in advance of a party. But don't forget to cover them until they're needed.
