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 slices white bread

Instructions

Chive Compound Butter
    Cup of Yum
  1. Blend softened butter with finely chopped chives and a pinch of salt. If using unsalted, check for flavor and add more if necessary.
Cucumber Sandwiches
  1. Peel or score the cucumber (see notes). Slice very thinly.
  2. Butter each slice of bread and lay cucumbers on 3 slices, slightly overlapping.
  3. Top with remaining slices of bread and trim crusts carefully. Cut into fingers or triangle.
  4. If desired, butter one edge of each sandwich and cover with finely chopped chives

Notes

  • For this recipe, it's best to use a thin skinned cucumber like an English cucumber. If using a thicker skinned cucumber, you'll want to remove all of the tough peel. Since English cucumbers don't need to be peeled, I like to use a scorer and make decorative stripes in the sides of the cucumber before slicing.
