How to Make Cucumber Sandwiches
Source: Linda Jennings
Recipe type: Sandwich
Prep time:
Total time:
Serves: 1
Ingredients
- Bread – any type you desire
- Butter – real butter, unsalted
- Cucumbers – English Cucumbers are nice
- Cream Cheese – We prefer Philadelphia Brand
Instructions
- Wash your cucumber and peel (if desired) slice into very thin slices. Next dry the slices between two paper towels.
- Butter both slices of bread with a thin layer of butter. Do not melt the butter but allow it soften for ease of spreading.
- Next spread a thin layer of cream cheese on both slices of bread (on top of the butter) Allow to come to room temperature to allow it to soften for ease of spreading.
- Finally top with dry cucumbers.
- Cut into shapes and remove crust if desired. You can do squares, rectangles, triangles or use a cookie cutter.
- Helpful Tip: The reason why you use butter is to keep your bread from getting soggy!

I LOVE cucumber sandwiches!!! ? I have a recipe that I enjoy and make many times during the summer for guests and always receive RAVES about them–it uses Sweet Hawaiian Bread Buns, cream cheese, and dill. Very tasty and simple to make!
i dont think i have ever put butter on cucumber sandwiches but will have to try.
Yes, dill is a great addition!
I like cream cheese and cukes, but I’ve never tried a cucumber sandwich yet, gotta give it a try
They are very crisp and tasty. I also love cucumbers and vinegar.
Never have. I am going to make it right now. Thanks!!!
