Buckingham Palace Garden Party Cucumber Sandwiches Recipes

CUCUMBER SANDWICHES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together the cream cheese, mayonnaise and Italian dressing mix. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or preferably overnight.
• Spread the cream cheese blend onto slices of French bread. Top with a cucumber slice, and sprinkle with dill. You can make as many or few as you like. the cream cheese mixture keeps for about a week in the refrigerator so you can make them over and over again!

CUCUMBER SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Peel the cucumber, cut in half lengthways, and slice crossways as thinly as possible.
• In a small bowl, combine the butter and orange zest and stir until the mixture is creamy and the ingredients are well-blended.
• Spread each slice of white bread with the butter mixture, arrange several slices of cucumber on each slice and top with the whole-wheat bread, and cut each sandwich into 4 triangles.
• To serve: Arrange the sandwiches on a platter, alternating white and brown sides of the sandwiches and garnish with mint sprigs and orange slices.
• On cucumbers: Of course traditionally the cucumber is peeled, but to modern tastes, many cucumbers available - such as Lebanese or continental, just those names alone would be enough to have Lady Bracknell turning in her grave! - really don't need peeling.

CHICKEN-CUCUMBER PARTY SANDWICHES

Steps:

• In a medium size bowl, stir together the softened cream cheese and the mayo until well blended (I use a whisk).
• With a wooden spoon, stir in the chicken and the next 7 ingredients.
• Cover and chill the filling for 4-24 hours.
• When ready to prepare the sandwiches after the 4-24 hour chilling time cut the crusts off of the bread slices.
• Using cookie cutters, or assorted metal shaped cutters (medium-size round biscuit cutters work great too), cut the bread slices into desired shapes.
• Spread half of the bread shapes with the chicken mixture, and top with the matching shape.
• Roll the sandwich edges in chopped fresh parsley if desired.
• Refrigerate, covered with plastic wrap until ready to use.
