This easy cucumber and cream cheese finger sandwich recipe is ideal for kids' tea parties, but it can also be prepared with spices for a more "adult" flavor.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Total Time: 15 minutes

Yield: 36 finger sandwiches

Ingredients:

  • 1 loaf white bread (such as buttermilk bread)
  • About 1/2 cup cream cheese (about 1/3 of a 12-ounce container of cream cheese)
  • 1 thinly sliced English cucumber
  • lemon juice, to taste
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • (Optional) dried parsley or chopped fresh chives, to taste

Preparation:

  1. For every two slices of bread, spread both slices evenly with cream cheese.
  2. Cover one side of the sandwich with sliced cucumber.
  3. Season with lemon juice and spices/herbs.
  4. Put the slices together, cut off the crusts and slice the sandwich diagonally two times to create four triangle finger sandwiches.
