BEST Cucumber Tea Sandwiches ➡ Yummy Cream Cheese Spread 👌🏻 Fancy Garnish 🥒

[@CarolanneTitmus-Greene]

GARLIC on a cucumber sandwich PERISH THE THOUGHT!

[@Laura-Lee]

Ain't nobody gonna be "kissing the cook". 😮Ya know what I'm sayin?😄

[@fancy-on5hn]

I’ve never used garlic. But I’ve used a scant amount of lemon zest and it really gives a refreshing lift. 😋

[@TheAnthonyKitchen]

To each their own!

[@jusssayin480]

Ignore the naysayers. Who cares if someone thinks it's not classic. They weren't invited to your house anyway.

[@englishatheart]

@@decimanightelf4135 Only numpties would assume that, as she never once said it was a traditional English cucumber sandwich.

[@fancy-on5hn]

I love cucumber sandwiches. I’ve never used garlic but I do add a little lemon zest to give it a refreshing kick.

[@TheAnthonyKitchen]

Ooo! That sounds good!

[@mauricearpin7946]

Mirin is a wonderful accompient, please try it my friend ❤❤❤

[@kellyhudspeth1736]

That looks delicious ~ pro tip when wanting garlic super-finely minced: instead of adding your salt to the recipe; peel and mince the garlic, sprinkle the salt on and then use your flat knife blade to mash mash mash, gather back up, mash again a couple times. Scrape it up and put into your bowl.

[@TheAnthonyKitchen]

I've never been very good at that, but my husband does it from time to time!

Make them yesterday for our Coronation party with friends and it was so delicious, everybody love it.

[@laceyflake2433]

I run a fork down the outside of a cucumber for design.

[@krisa8649]

Thanks for a new twist on an old cucumber sandwich idea! LOVE the cream cheese and garlic spread recipe.

[@nanastrippin2006]

I love cucumbers on my sandwiches and I like to make a veggie sandwich with other herbs and veggies, such as basil pesto, onion, tomato, avocado, pepper jack cheese and baby spinach and a touch of mayo (all organic ingredients) served on a seven grain bread (crust on) With this cucumber and cream cheese tea sandwich, "while it looks great", I would prefer to serve it on a sourdough crostini and that way you get the crunch from the bread as well as the cucumber 😊

[@TheAnthonyKitchen]

That sounds delicious!

[@farrahjordan1396]

Whenever I see a cucumber sandwich, I automatically think of “max and ruby” 😊

[@TheAnthonyKitchen]

Love that!

[@alisonwilliams3806]

Looks tasty but not how cucumber sandwiches are made in the UK. Sandwiches normally were made with brown bread, butter & peeled cucumber + little salt. Cut into lengths with all crusts cut off. My mother was a cook/housekeeper to a family who had a large estate in the south of England. They also had a butler + quite a number of other staff. Afternoon tea was served at 4 o’clock precisely. 😊

[@sherri2441]

Nobody cares about the way you make them in the UK

[@conferenceclips4940]

Why were they such a thing for the aristocracy? I never understood. Was cucumber ever a delicacy?

[@Booboonancy]

@@WinterberryThyme-3333 Cucumber sandwiches was the topic.

[@cliftonmcnalley8469]

With the proliferation of additional foreign foods and spices into almost everyone's diets, the way things were served as little as 50 years ago, no longer satisfies many contemporary palates. My Mom is German. We grew up eating her slaw which is extremely more nutritious than classic American Cole Slaw which tends to have enormous equal amounts of mayo and sugar. Mom used cabbage, S&P, pinch of sugar, finely chopped yellow or white onion, plain white vinegar and vegetable oil. My mother typically becomes more than a bit irate when I mess with her recipes. About 10 years ago, a new Greek restaurant opened and makes the identical slaw, only with green onions, olive oil and wine vinegar. I now use green onions, grape seed oil and rice vinegar and my Mom loves it - never has once complained that I'm not making it "the right way". Taste buds are "more educated" today.

[@nanastrippin2006]

​@@Booboonancy Ty exactly, but where did that all come from, that was deep, but thank you for bringing the Convo back around to the real topic "CUCUMBER SAMMIES" 😂

[@bdawg1118]

My mom used to make these for me for my school lunches. Had to go back in time lol, delicious sandwiches

[@TheAnthonyKitchen]

Love that!

[@shismi3222]

My mother did the same. She wrapped a cucumber & watercress on buttered bread sandwich in wax paper in my lunch box. Fond memories.

[@madonnariera355]

This is one of my favorite sandwiches, cucumbers or tomato sandwiches. Oh they’re so good they are the best and so many other like sandwiches.

[@TheAnthonyKitchen]

We love them too!

[@lauriekilborn]

Sliced cucumber, aged cheddar cheese slices and mayo on soft white bread. Om nomz.

[@Thundralight]

Never tried cucumber and cream cheese just cucumber and buttered toast with mayo -got too try it.. cream cheese and green olives and cream cheese with strawberry jam is also good. Love cream cheese.

[@TheAnthonyKitchen]

We are big on cheese in this household as well!

[@bettywelkie3865]

I also love cream cheese. This is a deviation from tea sandwiches, but wanted to share. My Dad would make us snacks using Ritz crackers with cream cheese & a green pimento olive cut in half on the top. Simple, quick & delicious. I still make them today using table water cracker w cream cheese/olives or cream cheese/blueberry preserves. Yum!!

[@rosaliepalacios5802]

Made this for my daughter-in-law’s baby shower the family love them

[@karenroy9045]

Great idea. Simple but delicious.

[@TheAnthonyKitchen]

Aw! That makes me so happy!

[@TheAlibali1993]

What an inspiration you are!! I made them and they were rememberable❤. Thanks for the extra informative about the transport and decoration.

[@rld1278]

A favorite summer snack of mine is cucumbers and ranch dip. This sounds even better of a dip for them!

[@TheAnthonyKitchen]

Totally!

[@donna7338]

Here are 2 suggestions finger sandwiches: When using unsliced bread, instead of cutting the loaf of bread vertically into individual slices as you show here, cut the bread into 4 horizontal, long slices after you trimmed the crust off. Then make the sandwiches and then cut the long sheets into individual sandwiches. It's also quicker and easier to make 2 long sheets than individual sandwiches. I think it might also yield more individual sandwiches. Also, when making cucumber sandwiches use a vegetable slicer or mandolin to long thin slices going the length of the long horizontal slices. Again, it's quicker than making individual sandwiches.

[@marinazagrai1623]

Donna…I’m also for simplifying anything…I was also thinking about how easy it would be to make the length of the bread and then cut into smaller pieces…although I’ve never made anything like this. I would definitely use a veggie slicer.

[@TheAnthonyKitchen]

Great ideas!

I like the southern version too that uses smoked Gouda pimento cheese instead of the cream cheese. Yummy and so pretty.

Mmmm... We love a good pimento!

@@TheAnthonyKitchen This is my go to recipe. It's a hit every time. The only thing I do differently is that I use tramezzini bread.

I'm sure that would be super yum!

So glad to hear that!

[@reenzetto]

We used to get the bakery to slice the bread by the length when we were making tea sandwiches for baby or bridal showers. It was free and so much easier.

[@toniam.2080]

Helpful hint: use a vegetable peeler for beautiful cucumber slices on your tea sandwiches 😊

[@TheAnthonyKitchen]

Yeah, you could definitely go that route if you prefer!

[@Adventuresoffirefly]

make it easier to garnish with a cucumber lacy by running your potato peeler the length of the cucumber luv and then its nice and thin to ruffle on top of the sandwich. I don't even use a toothpick I use a dob of the cream cheese to hold the ruffle together :))

[@KCRUBYWOO]

Good call... I'll try that. Thx!

[@TheAnthonyKitchen]

Just curious, what type of bread is that at 00:15? To my understanding all bread is "bakery bread" since it all comes from a bakery. Something like "brioche" or "milk bread" are types of bread, but I have never heard of "bakery bread" from anyone who instructs cooking for a living.

[@jorgefiguerola1239]

Try waiting until the end to trim the crusts off. Look at the bread like a canvas, crust as the frame, and allow working off it. Keep juicier parts, especially tomato, from direct contact with bread so not soggy. Stack. Compress. Trim off crusts. Try toasted and mustard rather than mayo.

[@rockbandmom]

How far in advance can I make these? 24 hours?

In India they make a mint cilantro green chilli salsa as sandwich spread along with butter

I never made anything like this (I’m not British, so…) and simplification is best for me. I would make the sandwich on the length of the bread then cut into individual servings. I would use a veg peeler/slicer.
