Perfect for a party platter, a light lunch, or afternoon tea, these Cucumber and Radish English Tea Sandwiches are delicious and easy to make. No cooking required and just four ingredients!
5.2ouncesBasil and Chive Boursin cheese(1 package, softened to room temperature)
3radishes(thinly sliced)
⅓-½cucumber(thinly sliced)
salt and black pepper(to taste)
Instructions
Spread one side of each slice of bread with the herb cheese. Top half with the cucumber slices and the other half with the sliced radish. Season with salt and pepper, if desired. Flip each slice with the radishes over on top of the slices with the cucumbers.
Trim the crust off each side of the sandwiches. Cut the sandwiches in half, and in half again, creating 4 pieces.
Arrange on a platter individually or stack two pieces together and secure with a toothpick.
Notes
Use a mandolin to thinly slice the veggies.
The cheese spread provides a barrier between the bread and the veggies. This prevents the bread from getting soggy. A thin layer of butter can be used to protect the bread when using fillings like egg salad.
Use a serrated bread knife to trim the crusts and cut the sandwiches into small pieces.
Keep the sandwiches fresh by wrapping them in plastic wrap and refrigerating them until ready to serve - up to a few hours in advance. When using fillings with more moisture, such as egg or ham salad, assemble the sandwiches right before serving.
