A fun but tasty twist to regular Cucumber Sandwiches is to use mint chutney instead of cream cheese, I would butter the sandwiches then spread mint chutney and add thinly sliced cucumber. You find mint chutney at Indian food stores and in the international isle of some supermarkets. You can call them Bombay or Mumbai sandwiches.

Thank you Beth, for reminding me how deeeelish cucumbers are! For some reason I’ve been craving these sandwiches, and that zing of lemon and dill! As always, your recipes are perfect for a base recipe and I can tweak as I please :D

A simple trick to keep the bread from getting soggy: lightly butter the slices before the cream cheese is added. This adds a tiny touch of richness also.

In reply to Tina. That's definitely an option! I like to do it after so you get a nice clean edge on the fillings as well. But don't worry, none of the parts that got cut off went to waste. I ate those as I went along.

Its easier to cut the crusts off before you make the sandwich. You don’t lose any of the fillings either.
Delightful recipe, especially for summer. Thanks

These look delicious! Can’t wait to try them. I’ve been making sandwiches recently I copied from a restaurant. Cucumbers, hummus, pickled red onions, and feta.

I grew up with cucumber or tomato sandwiches. My mom, true to her Danish ancestry, preferred to do them open face–plain cream cheese or mayo, sliced cucumbers and a sprinkle of chopped fresh dill. She, too, cut off the crusts and turned them into little triangles to make a uniform appearance. Her tomato sandwiches were exactly the same. Here in NC, however, tomato sandwiches demand white bread and Duke’s mayo. My sister mixes ranch dressing mix into the cream cheese. I use garlic and any herbs I have on hand and whip the cream cheese with a bit of cream to make it sort of like the expensive stuff.

Off to sacrifice that English cucumber I bought this morning –Aldi has them for $.99 apiece this week.

My daughter used to love cucumber sandwiches in her lunchbox. I would take a round cookie cutter and cut the bread in circles the same size as a slice of cucumber.
