My friend Heather A shared this little recipe in our Facebook group to celebrate the premiere of the 4th season of Downton Abbey. She decided the affair called for fancy British food to snack on so she made some really cute and easy Cucumber Sandwiches! With the summer in full swing (at least here in Georgia) it is also time for wedding and baby showers and just about any other reason you can think of to gather with friends. So, if you need a quick and easy recipe – this is the one!
EASY & CUTE CUCUMBER SANDWICHES
1 Cucumber
½ cup of Sour Cream
½ cup of Mayo
8 oz of softened cream cheese
1 – 1oz packet of Ranch Dip Mix
White bread
Step #1 – use a small decorative cookie cutter to cut out the slices of white bread.
Step #2 – Peel the skin off the cucumber and then slice it very thin. Then put in between 2 paper towels to soak up the extra moisture. You don’t want them to be slippery.
Step #3 – mix up the spread! In a small batter bowl mix the sour cream, mayo, softened cream cheese and ranch dip mix together until incorporated together.
Step #4 – Put mixture into a ziplock bag (I used a freezer quart size bag) and snip a corner to use as a piping bag.
Step #5 – Put it all together! 1 piece of bread, pipe a layer of the spread, put cucumber on top of that, another layer of spread and then top with another piece of bread.
Step #6 – Arrange on a cute plate, cover with saran wrap and chill for a half hour or more. Then enjoy!
Check out these cute flower cookie cutters (a set of 6 in different sizes) that would be perfect for something like this! If you have Amazon Prime they will ship free!
Do you have any parties coming up that can use a yummy cucumber sandwich?
Thank you for sharing how to make these! I think these would be wonderful for a Ladies Tea or just a fun get together, and they look delicious 🙂
I think they are great for any small gathering – not sure I have the patience to make them for hundreds of people, but having my girlfriends over it would be nice.
Adorable, I have yet to watch Downton Abbey but love these cute sandwich ideas!
I have never watched it either, but the sandwiches are perfect for so many occasions!
OOOO, this brings back memories of High Tea. Cucumber sandwiches are delectable! Visiting you from the Small Victories Linkup.
You are absolutely correct…they are delectable!
Cute is definitely the right word…I LOVE these! They sound so yummy and now I need to have a party so I have an excuse to serve (and eat) them!
I’m visiting from Mom’s Small Victories and would love for you to come link up this post at tonight’s Share The Wealth Sunday (www.funmoneymom.com)
