Cream Cheese Cucumber Fingers Recipes

CUCUMBER SANDWICH RECIPE

Steps:

• Peel the cucumber, and slice it thinly. I used a simple OXO slicer for quick, even slices.
• Spread soft/room temperature cream cheese on two slices of bread.
• Arrange the cucumber slices, overlapping slightly, on one slice of bread and top with the other.
• Slice off the edges with a sharp serrated knife, wiping with a damp paper towel after each cut. Next, cut into fingers (or triangles). Whether you cut them into fingers or triangles, you'll end up with two finger sandwiches.
• If you need to make cucumber sandwiches ahead of time, keep them in a sealed container with a paper towel inside for a few hours, and refrigerate them.

Then cut the sandwich into 3 fingers.
