sliced cucumber and onion sandwiches with cream cheese

When we lived in England, I found it unusual (and good) that they
often used thin slices of cucumber on their sandwiches instead of the iceberg lettuce commonly used here.

It's a great sandwich ingredient as far as I'm concerned.

Title: BFT Cucumber Sandwiches
Categories: British, Sandwiches
Yield: 8 Servings

1 Seedless cucumber
125 g Unsalted butter, softened (4
1/2 Oz)
1 ts Grated orange zest
8 Thin slices firm white bread
Crusts removed
8 Thin slices firm wholemeal
Bread, crusts removed
Fresh mint sprigs and thin
Orange slices

Makes 32 sandwiches.

One of England's most traditional tea sandwiches, thinly sliced
cucumber on good buttered bread. The crusts are always removed.

Peel the cucumber, cut in half lengthways, and slice crossways as
thinly as possible. In a small bowl, combine the butter and orange
zest and stir until creamy and blended.

Spread each slice of white bread with about 1 1/2 teaspoons of the
butter mixture. Arrange several slices of cucumber on each slice and
top with the whole-wheat bread. Cut each sandwich into 4 triangles.

To serve, arrange the sandwiches on a platter, alternating white and
brown sides of the sandwiches and garnish with mint sprigs and
orange slices.
