Herbed Goat Cheese & Cucumber Tea Sandwiches

Ingredients

- 8 slices of fresh bread (white or whole wheat)
- 8 oz herbed goat cheese
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- Optional: Additional herbs for garnish (e.g., dill or mint)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Cheese Spread:
In a medium bowl, combine the herbed goat cheese and softened cream cheese. Mix until smooth and well combined.

2. Slice the Cucumber:
Use a sharp knife or mandoline to slice the cucumber into thin rounds. Arrange the slices on a paper towel, sprinkle evenly with salt, and let the cucumber sit for about 5 minutes to release excess moisture. Pat dry with another paper towel.

3. Assemble the Sandwiches:
Spread a generous layer of the cheese mixture onto one side of each bread slice.

4. Layer the Cucumber:
On half of the bread slices, arrange the cucumber slices evenly over the cheese spread.

5. Complete the Sandwiches:
Top the cucumber-covered bread slices with the remaining slices, cheese side down, creating a sandwich.

6. Trim and Cut:
Using a sharp knife, trim the crusts off the sandwiches and cut them into quarters, either as triangles or rectangles, based on preference.

7. Optional Garnish:
If desired, top each sandwich quarter with a small sprig of fresh herbs like dill or mint for an elegant touch.
