    Sandwich: Cucumber Arugula Tea Sandwich


    Source of Recipe


    internet

    List of Ingredients




    1 seedless cucumber
    8 -ounce package cream cheese softened
    5 -ounce package goat cheese softened
    1 cup packed baby arugula leaves coarsely chopped
    16 slices very thin whole wheat or white bread
    Chopped chives or Italian parsley

    Recipe



    Slice the cucumber as thinly as possible, using a mandoline if you have one. Lay slices on a paper towel to absorb excess moisture, and set aside.

    Cream together the cream cheese and goat cheese in a small bowl. Add the arugula, and stir until well combined.

    Spread a thin layer of the cheese mixture on each slice of bread. Arrange cucumbers in a single layer on 8 of the slices. Place remaining bread slices over the cucumber, cheese-mixture side down. Using a serrated knife, carefully trim off and discard the crusts. Slice each sandwich in half diagonally and then in half again; each large sandwich makes 4 triangular tea sandwiches.

    Dip one edge of each tea sandwich in a dish of chopped herbs. Arrange sandwiches in tight rows on a serving platter.
