EASY CUCUMBER PARTY SANDWICHES

Easy Cucumber Party Sandwiches image

These easy, beautiful, yummy sandwiches are perfect for brunches, tea parties or spring and summer lunches. Can be prepared ahead of time and assembled just before serving. This is an easy appetizer to prepare the day before, except for the assembly. The cream cheese mixture is actually better after about 8 hours. Feel free to experiment with the dressing; we prefer the buttermilk dressing but ranch or Italian works great, too. Also, cocktail bread can be substituted for the hand-cut bread, which will save 10 to 15 minutes.

BUCKINGHAM PALACE GARDEN PARTY CUCUMBER SANDWICHES

Buckingham Palace Garden Party Cucumber Sandwiches image

Cucumber sandwiches are made with fresh springy white or brown bread, lightly buttered, and with the crusts cut off - the perfect cool summer snack to go with your afternoon tea. This recipe idea came from a friend who was lucky enough to attend a Garden Party at Buckingham Palace - she swears this is how they made them! Cucumber sandwiches achieved literary notoriety in Oscar Wilde's play The Importance of Being Earnest (1895) when Algernon devours an entire plate full in the first act and there are none left for his aunt, Lady Bracknell. They are presented by Jack as being a delicacy: "Hallo! Why all these cups? Why cucumber sandwiches? Why such reckless extravagance in one so young? Who is coming to tea?"

ITALIAN PARTY BREAD

Italian Party Bread image

If an Italian deli exploded inside a loaf of bread, it'd be this crispy meat- and cheese-stuffed braid made easy with just 5 ingredients, including pre-made pizza dough. Feel free to use homemade dough and/or turn this Italian party into a Spanish one using Serrano ham and Manchego cheese--or even a French one with Gruyere and Dijon!

Provided by Chef John

Categories Bread

Time 1h

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 6

Ingredients

1 (16 ounce) package pizza dough
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour, or as needed for dusting
⅓ cup prepared pesto sauce
6 thin slices provolone cheese
2 ounces sliced prosciutto, torn into ribbons
⅓ cup diced banana peppers

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
Place pizza dough on a floured surface and roll into a rectangular shape between 1/8-inch and 1/4-inch thick, letting dough relax occasionally if it keeps springing back. Spread pesto on top, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edge. Top evenly with provolone cheese, prosciutto, and peppers.
Roll up tightly in the direction that gives you the most length, ending with the seam on the bottom. Press down to flatten slightly and dust the top lightly with flour. Use a pizza wheel to cut dough lengthwise into 3 long, even strips using a pizza wheel.
Place strips next to each other but not touching, the middle strip cut-side up and the other two cut-sides facing in. Braid them together, then curl the ends in to form a round wreath shape, tucking any loose ends under the loaf. Transfer onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until nicely browned, about 30 minutes. Let cool slightly and serve warm or at room temperature.

Categories Lunch/Snacks

Time 30m

Yield 75 small sandwiches (approx)

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

2 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup mayonnaise (reduced fat is okay, do not use fat-free)
3 cups finely diced cooked chicken
3/4 cup peeled seeded and diced cucumber
3 celery ribs, finely diced
1/2 cup red bell pepper, finely diced
6 green onions, chopped small
1 teaspoon garlic salt
1/2 teaspoon salt (or to taste, I use seasoned salt)
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper (or to taste)
84 slices fresh white bread or 84 slices whole wheat bread

Steps:

In a medium size bowl, stir together the softened cream cheese and the mayo until well blended (I use a whisk).
With a wooden spoon, stir in the chicken and the next 7 ingredients.
Cover and chill the filling for 4-24 hours.
When ready to prepare the sandwiches after the 4-24 hour chilling time cut the crusts off of the bread slices.
Using cookie cutters, or assorted metal shaped cutters (medium-size round biscuit cutters work great too), cut the bread slices into desired shapes.
Spread half of the bread shapes with the chicken mixture, and top with the matching shape.
Roll the sandwich edges in chopped fresh parsley if desired.
Refrigerate, covered with plastic wrap until ready to use.
