You can print out the recipe here:
www.theanthonykitchen.com/cuc...
Here's what you'll need to make them:
1 1/2 package (12-ounces) cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup sour cream
1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 1/2 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 tablespoon dried chives
1/2 teaspoon Kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon dried dill
Pinch of black pepper
1/3 cup room temperature unsalted butter
2 English cucumbers, sliced thin
2 (1 pound) loaves sliced white bread (preferably from the bakery), crust removed
How To Make Cucumber Tea Sandwiches:
Add the cream cheese, sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic, chives, salt, onion powder, dill, and pepper to a medium-sized mixing bowl.
Using a handheld mixer, mix on medium speed until smooth and well combined. This can be made and kept refrigerated up to 2 days in advance.
To assemble the sandwiches, begin by very lightly buttering each slice of bread all the way to the edges. Then, spread a scant tablespoon of the dill sauce across each slice of bread. Reserve/use any leftover spread as a vegetable dip, if desired.
Divide the sliced cucumber over half of the bread slices, slightly overlapping them. Top with the remaining bread slices and cut into triangles or rectangles. Serve and enjoy!

GARLIC on a cucumber sandwich PERISH THE THOUGHT!
Ain't nobody gonna be "kissing the cook". 😮Ya know what I'm sayin?😄
I’ve never used garlic. But I’ve used a scant amount of lemon zest and it really gives a refreshing lift. 😋
To each their own!
You’ll never find garlic or lots of spices on a traditional English cucumber sandwich. This is a flavorful alternative though, but it’s not the classic recipe!
Ignore the naysayers. Who cares if someone thinks it's not classic. They weren't invited to your house anyway.
Looks tasty but not how cucumber sandwiches are made in the UK. Sandwiches normally were made with brown bread, butter & peeled cucumber + little salt. Cut into lengths with all crusts cut off. My mother was a cook/housekeeper to a family who had a large estate in the south of England. They also had a butler + quite a number of other staff. Afternoon tea was served at 4 o’clock precisely. 😊
Nobody cares about the way you make them in the UK
Why were they such a thing for the aristocracy? I never understood. Was cucumber ever a delicacy?
@@oldrooster25 Cucumber sandwiches was the topic.
With the proliferation of additional foreign foods and spices into almost everyone's diets, the way things were served as little as 50 years ago, no longer satisfies many contemporary palates.
My Mom is German. We grew up eating her slaw which is extremely more nutritious than classic American Cole Slaw which tends to have enormous equal amounts of mayo and sugar. Mom used cabbage, S&P, pinch of sugar, finely chopped yellow or white onion, plain white vinegar and vegetable oil. My mother typically becomes more than a bit irate when I mess with her recipes. About 10 years ago, a new Greek restaurant opened and makes the identical slaw, only with green onions, olive oil and wine vinegar. I now use green onions, grape seed oil and rice vinegar and my Mom loves it - never has once complained that I'm not making it "the right way". Taste buds are "more educated" today.
@@Booboonancy Ty exactly, but where did that all come from, that was deep, but thank you for bringing the Convo back around to the real topic "CUCUMBER SAMMIES" 😂
What an inspiration you are!! I made them and they were rememberable❤. Thanks for the extra informative about the transport and decoration.
Looks fantastic! 🌺
Thanks for recipe...💝💝💝
They look lovely.
Looks soooo good. I wanna try
My mom used to make these for me for my school lunches. Had to go back in time lol, delicious sandwiches
Love that!
My mother did the same. She wrapped a cucumber & watercress on buttered bread sandwich in wax paper in my lunch box. Fond memories.
Whenever I see a cucumber sandwich, I automatically think of “max and ruby” 😊
Love that!
These look great. Must try
Let me know what you think!
That looks delicious ~ pro tip when wanting garlic super-finely minced: instead of adding your salt to the recipe; peel and mince the garlic, sprinkle the salt on and then use your flat knife blade to mash mash mash, gather back up, mash again a couple times. Scrape it up and put into your bowl.
I've never been very good at that, but my husband does it from time to time!
fried dill
Make them yesterday for our Coronation party with friends and it was so delicious, everybody love it.
I run a fork down the outside of a cucumber for design.
Looks amazing
I love cucumbers on my sandwiches and I like to make a veggie sandwich with other herbs and veggies, such as basil pesto, onion, tomato, avocado, pepper jack cheese and baby spinach and a touch of mayo (all organic ingredients) served on a seven grain bread (crust on)
With this cucumber and cream cheese tea sandwich, "while it looks great", I would prefer to serve it on a sourdough crostini and that way you get the crunch from the bread as well as the cucumber 😊
That sounds delicious!
thank you so much for the storage tip
I've got you, friend!
This is one of my favorite sandwiches, cucumbers or tomato sandwiches. Oh they’re so good they are the best and so many other like sandwiches.
We love them too!
A favorite summer snack of mine is cucumbers and ranch dip. This sounds even better of a dip for them!
Totally!
Very useful perfect recipe and sandwich ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I love cucumber sandwiches. I’ve never used garlic but I do add a little lemon zest to give it a refreshing kick.
Ooo! That sounds good!
Mirin is a wonderful accompient, please try it my friend ❤❤❤
Wow yummy yummy tempting.Thank you so much
I'm so glad you like it!
Made this for my daughter-in-law’s baby shower the family love them
Great idea. Simple but delicious.
Aw! That makes me so happy!
Never tried cucumber and cream cheese just cucumber and buttered toast with mayo -got too try it.. cream cheese and green olives and cream cheese with strawberry jam is also good. Love cream cheese.
We are big on cheese in this household as well!
I also love cream cheese. This is a deviation from tea sandwiches, but wanted to share.
My Dad would make us snacks using Ritz crackers with cream cheese & a green pimento olive cut in half on the top. Simple, quick & delicious. I still make them today using table water cracker w cream cheese/olives or cream cheese/blueberry preserves. Yum!!
Eyecatching recipe .Delicious .I love it and i will try it 😮😮 Thanks for sharing us ❤ from Sri Lanka 😊
Sliced cucumber, aged cheddar cheese slices and mayo on soft white bread. Om nomz.
Here are 2 suggestions finger sandwiches: When using unsliced bread, instead of cutting the loaf of bread vertically into individual slices as you show here, cut the bread into 4 horizontal, long slices after you trimmed the crust off. Then make the sandwiches and then cut the long sheets into individual sandwiches. It's also quicker and easier to make 2 long sheets than individual sandwiches. I think it might also yield more individual sandwiches. Also, when making cucumber sandwiches use a vegetable slicer or mandolin to long thin slices going the length of the long horizontal slices. Again, it's quicker than making individual sandwiches.
Donna…I’m also for simplifying anything…I was also thinking about how easy it would be to make the length of the bread and then cut into smaller pieces…although I’ve never made anything like this. I would definitely use a veggie slicer.
Great ideas!

I like the southern version too that uses smoked Gouda pimento cheese instead of the cream cheese. Yummy and so pretty.
Mmmm... We love a good pimento!
That spread looks and sounds like I would enjoy it, so I will be saving this video ❤
Yay! So glad!

Love how you did the cucumber garnishes. Definitely going to make these just with some plant-based mayo, cheese and sour cream as I have a family history of Cancer and need to avoid the Choline in eggs and estrogen in dairy--thanks for posting
I hope that turns out great for you!
Excellent video!
I'm making these tomorrow for an outdoor get together. Thank you so much.
You are so welcome! Let me know what you think!
We used to get the bakery to slice the bread by the length when we were making tea sandwiches for baby or bridal showers. It was free and so much easier.
That herb spread would make great tomato sandwiches
That is such a great idea!
Looks delicious!! I want fresh dill instead of dried!❤
I'm sure that would be super yum!
These lil Sammy’s are so coot! I will give them a go for sure, thanks for sharing 🥒
Yay! I'm glad you think so! Let me know how you like them!
Nice garnish 😃😃😃
Why thank you :)
Helpful hint: use a vegetable peeler for beautiful cucumber slices on your tea sandwiches 😊
Yeah, you could definitely go that route if you prefer!
Thank you. Will try really soon. Love cucumber sandwiches. May I as the ingredient in mix following onion powder 1 /4 tsp.? Thankyou Ruth

Best cucumber tea sandwich I ever seen🌷🌼🌺
Thank you thank you!!
I planning to have ' afternoon tea ' at mu house woth a few ladies. I will definitely copy your cucumber sandwich
Love to hear this! Thank you and I hope y'all have the best time!
Very nice, but I’m the sort who believes raw garlic overpowers every uncooked dish it’s in, so personally I’d substitute fresh dill, basil or parsley and chopped chives instead of onion powder.
Vary it however it works for you!
Looks like something Ian McKellan would serve :)
I get that! :P
make it easier to garnish with a cucumber lacy by running your potato peeler the length of the cucumber luv and then its nice and thin to ruffle on top of the sandwich. I don't even use a toothpick I use a dob of the cream cheese to hold the ruffle together :))
Good call... I'll try that. Thx!
Good idea!
Look so good. I'll have to try them! TFS
I hope you like them!
Pepperidge farm do sanwich bread. Philadelphia has a wonderful herb cream cheese...so all is done for you.
Thanks for sharing, I'm going to whip these up for my next girl party! 🎉 subbing.
Yay! Love that!
I made some using your recipe and boy they were a hit at our bible art journaling group 🤤🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼Thank you ps if others don’t like the way you did yours there plenty more to watch or they can do there own version 😊
Thank you, Cristina
I will try this it appears to be Ez . Looks good too !
Very easy and so delicious!
I have a similar recipe but with white wine vinegar instead of lemon juice and a few sprigs of fresh mint in each sandwich.
Love that!
Just make sure to salt the cues it takes them to a whole new level.. can’t tell you how many afternoon cream teas I made yrs ago when I used to work at the savoy! Gotp sick of the sight of them lol…
Good idea!
Can't wait to try them. I like the addition of garlic in the spread.
We are big on garlic here! Let me know what you think!
@@TheAnthonyKitchen I put onions and garlic on a lot of the things that we eat. I also use a lot of granulated garlic.
Try waiting until the end to trim the crusts off. Look at the bread like a canvas, crust as the frame, and allow working off it. Keep juicier parts, especially tomato, from direct contact with bread so not soggy. Stack. Compress. Trim off crusts. Try toasted and mustard rather than mayo.
❤
Is there ready cut cucumbers/
Yup. I used to eat a lot in India.
So neat!
A mandolin with adjustable slice sizes is perfect for cukes
Yes! That is a great option.
Looks delish but just whyyyyy
Cut the cucumber with potato peelers long thin slices ..👌
Good idea!
In India they make a mint cilantro green chilli salsa as sandwich spread along with butter
Sounds delicious!
Make sure to keep the bread crust and make homemade bread crumbs
Yes! Great idea.
Looks good , i m sure it tastes great
But it is too complicated and takes too long for just one kind of the variety of sandwiches for an afternoon tea 😅😅😅
Who knows! You might change your mind once you try it!
Hullo Luv...I want U to build me a house, as U are a great Architect. Your precision is amazing. Them sammies look gorgeous I can't wait to start my dish. A. S. A. P. Hahaa...ThankU.
Haha! Thanks! Can't wait for you to give them a try!
Fattening... but I dont give a flying eff. It's SOOOO delicious.
Would use smoked salmon 🍣 instead of cucumber.
Ooo! What an interesting idea!
Thanks for the video.😊You can make that vegan as well. I miss afternoon Tea back in the UK. Stuck in Canada😢Cheers.!
Aw! Hopefully you get to experience it again soon!
that spread only looks very versatile. i can see it with lots of stuff
For sure! It's SO yummy!
Wonderful recipe for great Afternoon tea. I wonder if onion powder is wise in the choice of spices as so often it seems there's always someone having trouble with onions and sometimes garlic as well.
Thank you! I'm glad you like it. It works for us but to each their own!
Alfred approves
Brilliant, Lovely. :)
Thank you
I never made anything like this (I’m not British, so…) and simplification is best for me. I would make the sandwich on the length of the bread then cut into individual servings. I would use a veg peeler/slicer.
I hope you try it! We definitely kept it simple!
👋 gang.
Hey friend!
How many sandwiches does this make? Where can I find the recipe?
This serves 15 and makes about 30-40 sandwiches. Here's the recipe link: www.theanthonykitchen.com/cucumber-sandwich-recipe/
Her eyes lit up when the cucumber came out. She must have grown them herself.
What did you do with rest of the bread?
I honestly can't remember because this was shot so long ago, but you can make breadcrumbs if you want!
Can you put this in the fridge overnight before serving? Won’t they get soggy?
