Tomato and Cucumber Sandwiches
Ingredients
- 2 very ripe plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped
- 1/2 medium English (seedless) cucumber, thinly sliced
- 4 ounces cream cheese, room temperature
- 4 tablespoons butter, room temperature
- 1/3 cup crumbled Feta cheese
- 2 tablespoons minced fresh chives
- 16 slices very thin white or wheat bread
- 1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
- Salt to taste
These mini sandwiches are ideal for entertaining, especially in the summertime, when you can use fresh, red-ripe tomatoes.
Why Try? So refreshing and light--perfect for lunch on a hot day.
Foodie Byte: English cucumbers, usually sold in the grocery store wrapped in plastic, have a mild sweet flavor and do not need to be seeded.
Preparation
- Combine cream cheese, butter, Feta and chives in a bowl; set aside
- Using a 2 1/2-inch round biscuit cutter, cut bread slices into rounds. Spread cheese mixture on bread rounds. Arrange 3 overlapping cucumber slices on remaining bread rounds. Sprinkle with salt. Top sandwiches with a small amount of chopped onion and tomato mixture. Arrange on serving platter.
