This easy and delightful cucumber sandwich recipe is so delicious in its simplicity! These dainty tea sandwiches are just so fancy and impossibly cute.
Prep your cucumber by peeling it and slicing into thin (2.5mm if you're using a mandoline slicer) rounds.
Spread a thin layer of mayo onto two slices of the bread.
Place the cucumber slices evenly on top of the mayo (space them close together and a little bit of overlap is ok). Don't put them too close to the edges since you will be cutting the crusts off and you don't want waste too much cucumber.
Add salt & pepper to taste.
Place the remaining two slices of bread to close the sandwiches and use a long, sharp knife to cut off the crusts from all 4 edges of the sandwiches. Cut the sandwiches into 4 even quarters and enjoy immediately.
Notes
This recipe makes 8 little sandwiches (two full size sandwiches cut into quarters, which is enough for 2 people for a snack), so if you're looking to make this a meal or for a tea party, you will need to double/triple/etc. the recipe.
