Method

  1. Lay the cucumber slices on kitchen paper to dry. Whizz the cheese, mint and some seasoning in a small food processor or with a hand blender. Stir in most of the chives, then spread the cheese mixture over 6 slices of bread. Reserve 12 slices of cucumber, and arrange the rest over the cheese.
  2. Layer up 2 slices of cucumber-topped bread, then top with a plain slice. Repeat this twice more. Use a good knife to trim the crusts off the tripledeckers, then cut each into 4 squares. Top each mini sandwich with another cucumber slice. Sprinkle with the remaining chives to serve.

    Easy to make and very tasty. These were a very popular addition to an afternoon tea.

    My husband turned his nose up when I mentioned that we were making cucumber sandwiches. These were actually very tasty, although with 3/4 a slice of bread in each, they were quite substantial, so we cut each sandwich in half to make mini triangles.

    A small change i would make is to, peel the skin off the cucumber first, then cut them into slices.

    Loved the flavours, served as canapes on a summer day for a garden party cut up into tiny triangles. Perfect addition, lots of great feedback.
