Cucumber Sandwiches

Ingredients

White bread (thinly sliced)

Unsalted butter

Hot house cucumbers (sometimes called English cucumbers)

Salt and pepper

• Butter two slices of bread generously and season with salt and pepper.
• Peel the cucumber if you prefer not to eat the skin, then slice thinly. You can do this in long strips with a vegetable peeler if you don’t want to eat the seeds.
• Arrange the cucumber in a think layer over the bottom slice of the buttered bread and sandwich on the top slice.
• Cut off the crusts then slice the bread wither into triangles, or, my personal preference, into three long thin slices.
