Ingredients
Chive Butter
- 4 ounces butter room temperature, (if using unsalted, add an extra pinch or two of kosher salt)
- 1 Tablespoon chives finely chopped
- 1 pinch kosher salt (not table salt as it's too salty)
Cucumber Sandwiches
- 1/2 English cucumber peeled or scored
- 6 lices white bread
Instructions
Chive Compound Butter
- Blend softened butter with finely chopped chives and a pinch of salt. If using unsalted, check for flavor and add more if necessary.
Cup of Yum
Cucumber Sandwiches
- Peel or score the cucumber (see notes). Slice very thinly.
- Butter each slice of bread and lay cucumbers on 3 slices, slightly overlapping.
- Top with remaining slices of bread and trim crusts carefully. Cut into fingers or triangle.
- If desired, butter one edge of each sandwich and cover with finely chopped chives
Notes
- English cucumbers are preferred for their thin skin; peel thicker-skinned cucumbers entirely before slicing.
- Scoring cucumbers decoratively before slicing can create attractive patterns without removing all the skin.
