Cucumber and Cream Cheese Tea Sandwiches

Tiny little sandwiches to go with your afternoon tea. We made a set of wheat and white bread sandwiches. Thinly sliced cucumber (On setting 2 using the slicer) was layered on top of whipped cream cheese spread.

The crusts were cut off, then sliced into smaller pieces. I sliced the white bread sandwiches into triangles, and the wheat bread into rectangles.

Prep: The most difficulty in prep was learning to cut with the bread knife for a clean cut through the soft bread and harder cucumber layer.

Presentation: After slicing the sandwiches into smaller pieces I used the leftover cucumber pieces as a garnish.

Taste: The taste is cool and refreshing.

Overall: It was a good experience to know how to slice these. With more practice I'll be able to slice the sandwiches more evenly and with more ease.
