Description

These classic Cucumber Sandwiches are a refreshing and creamy treat perfect for tea time or light snacks. Made with grated cucumbers mixed into seasoned cream cheese and fresh herbs, then spread between slices of soft pumpernickel or marble rye bread, these sandwiches are easy to prepare and delightfully flavorful. A family favorite passed down through generations, they combine cool cucumber freshness with a tangy ranch twist for a deliciously simple sandwich experience.

Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 3 large cucumbers

Dairy

  • 8 ounces cream cheese, softened

Herbs & Seasonings

  • 3 tablespoons fresh minced chives
  • 1 tablespoon fresh minced dill (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Bakery

  • 16 slices pumpernickel or marble rye bread, crusts removed

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Cucumbers: Peel the cucumbers and then carefully remove the center seeds using a spoon. Grate the cucumbers using a box grater or food processor. Next, squeeze the grated cucumbers thoroughly using cheesecloth or a clean tea towel to remove excess moisture, ensuring the mixture won’t be soggy.
  2. Make the Filling: In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated cucumber with the softened cream cheese, minced chives, optional dill, and ranch seasoning. Use a hand mixer or mix by hand to beat the ingredients together until the mixture is smooth and well incorporated. Season it to taste with salt and pepper for balanced flavor.
  3. Assemble the Sandwiches: Lay out the bread slices on a cutting board in pairs. Evenly spread the cucumber cream cheese mixture over half of the bread slices. Top each with the other slice to form a sandwich. For serving, cut each sandwich into quarters or triangles as preferred.
  4. Serve Immediately: These sandwiches are best served fresh to enjoy their crisp and creamy texture.

Notes

  • Storing Leftovers: To keep leftover sandwiches fresh, place them on a plate and wrap tightly with plastic wrap. Store in the refrigerator and consume within 24 hours to maintain freshness and prevent sogginess.
