Egg and Cucumber Sandwiches Recipe

ITS SUMMER TIME

Summer has been kicking into high gear and the temperatures have been climbing here, and everyone wants to keep cool on hot summer days. So today, I have a recipe for a simple, classic and very popular sandwiches: “Egg and Cucumber Sandwiches”.

Egg and Cucumber Sandwiches

Egg and Cucumber sandwiches are the most delicious, easiest finger foods to make. All you need is sliced white bread, boiled eggs, mayonnaise and of course, cucumbers. To enhance the flavor, I also spread a thin layer of dill with cream cheese spread.

I love adding cucumbers to egg mayonnaise. And sometimes different herbs too (especially dill goes very well with eggs and cucumbers). The cucumber can either be chopped finely and mixed into the egg mayonnaise or sliced thinly , I like the latter since it adds a nice fresh crunch to the sandwich. This can be made in advance and keeps well, so is perfect for tea parties.

What are your favorite foods for a tea time snack or tea party? For me, the food are simple to prepare and easy to eat (and not so messy), preferably something we can eat using our hands or toothpicks.

If you’re looking for an extremely quick and easy recipe for a lunch box, or a tea party, or a picnic, or you just so happen to have an extra cucumber lying around, then give these egg and cucumber sandwiches a try. They’re deliciously light and fresh, and I love the crunch of the cucumber. These delicious, easy-to-assemble sandwiches are great for a quick summer meal.

Bismillah let’s get started.
