CUCUMBER SANDWICH RECIPE HELP

ScrapHappy — Sun, 09 Sep 2018 19:45:08 GMT

Does anyone have a good, simple & easy cucumber sandwich recipe? I've tried a couple...the latest that had hidden valley ranch dressing mix in it. Just doesn't taste right. Having a hard time finding something on the internet. Some recipes I've come across have worcestershire sauce in them. Is that common?

it's been a longtime since I had one. Have you tried a whipped cream cheese?

@ScrapHappy, from the garden cake and tomato sandwiches are the best. My father was a huge veggie gardener. We always made sandwiches of tomatoes and cake with Miracle Whip and lots of black pepper, refrigerated and then ate them. Makes me homesick! LM

@ScrapHappy

How do you remember them? They are made many different ways. If you liked worcestershire sauce that may be ok. I have not used it. I usually grate the cucumber instead of just slice it.

My bf makes a good dill/cucumber sandwich. She uses a pkg of the deli rye bread & mixes cream cheese with a package of dry hidden ranch mix. She spreads the cream cheese mixture onto the rye bread & tops each slice with a cucumber slice. Then she sprinkles it with a dill weed. It is the first thing to go at her church's fellowship time.

The one I last made had sour cream, cream cheese with chives, mayo, dill weed, & 1 package of hidden valley ranch dressing mix. It tasted a little too "strong" for me. I've seen another recipe that had no cream cheese and using butter and mayo.

@ScrapHappy

I think the older recipes did not have the extras like the hidden valley. I have had them with the cucumbers sliced and with them grated. They have had the cream cheese,mayonnaise and dill or chives or green onions, shallots. The butter is important if you make them ahead to be a barrier to keep them from getting soggy. Some people use the spreadable cream cheese instead of the butter.

For me the hidden valley adds too much sodium but I might like it.

Now you have me wanting one !

@ScrapHappy @doxie1 From Tea Time magazine! They have some good recipes on their website!

Ingredients

1 (3-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1 teaspoon heavy whipping cream
1 teaspoon fresh lemon zest
1 teaspoon minced fresh dill
¼ teaspoon salt
4 slices white sandwich bread
1 (6-inch) section English cucumber

Instructions

In a medium bowl, combine cream cheese and cream. Beat at medium-high speed with an electric mixer until creamy. Add lemon zest, dill, and salt, beating at low speed to incorporate. Place cream cheese mixture in a piping bag fitted with a small open-star tip (Wilton #21).
Using a 1¾-inch square cutter, cut 4 squares from each bread slice. (Place squares in a resealable plastic bag, or cover with damp paper towels to prevent drying out while working.)
Using a mandolin* on a very thin setting, cut 32 paper-thin cucumber slices. Lay cucumber slices on paper towels, and blot dry.
Pipe cream cheese mixture around the edge of 8 bread squares, and then fill in the centers. Lay 4 cucumber slices on each bread slice, letting cucumber slices hang over edge of bread. Top with another bread square.
Serve immediately, or cover sandwiches with damp paper towels until ready to serve.

Notes

*We used a Kyocera mandolin, which is available at surlatable.com. You can also use a small, sharp paring knife to cut cucumber as thinly as possible.
• Cream-cheese mixture can be made a day in advance and refrigerated in a covered container. Let come to room temperature before using. Bread squares can be cut a day in advance and stored in a resealable plastic bag.

I just use Duke's mayo on a slice of bread and peeled slices of small cucumbers, a little salt and pepper. I like cucumber sandwiches the origonal way.

Whipped cream cheese till soft, add a bit of fresh dill since it is so powerful, and spread the crustless bread with it, then layer super thin slices of cucumber sprinkled with a bit of kosher salt. Done.

I haven't made this, but it's the Pioneer Woman's recipe, Ree Drummond... I just saw it on her show this morning. I haven't made it, but it sounds simple and good to me. If you Google Pioneer Woman Cucumber Sandwiches, you can watch the video. I think I might try this one:

Pioneer Woman Cucumber Sandwiches

Ingredients

8 slices white sandwich bread
2 tablespoons butter, softened
1/2 English cucumber, peeled and thinly sliced
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon finely chopped chives
1 teaspoon yellow mustard
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Spread one side of each slice of bread with a thin layer of butter. Arrange a single layer of cucumber slices on 4 of the bread slices. Stir together the mayonnaise, chives, mustard and some salt and pepper in a small bowl. Spread a thin layer of the mayonnaise mixture over the cucumbers. Top with the remaining slices of buttered bread. Cut off the crusts and cut each sandwich into three fingers.

Cucumber sandwiches sound really good...I have never made them but have sampled at a couple of parties...seeing this post reminded me of a commercial about Ethel meeting the Queen and serving cucumber sandwiches....Whatever you do just don't add any Franks's RedHot Sauce!!!
