Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Fresh cucumber
- 6 medium Fresh strawberries
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 1 teaspoon Honey
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 4 slices Thin white bread slices
- 6 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 1 pinch Salt
Instructions
Wash the cucumber and strawberries thoroughly and pat them dry.
Thinly slice the cucumber into rounds using a mandoline or sharp knife and lightly sprinkle with a pinch of salt. Let them sit for 5 minutes, then pat dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Hull the strawberries and slice them into thin, even slices.
In a small bowl, mix cream cheese, honey, and lemon juice until smooth and spreadable.
Trim the crusts from the white bread slices to create clean edges, then cut each slice into four equal squares or rectangles.
Spread a thin, even layer of the cream cheese mixture over each bread square.
Layer two cucumber slices on half of the bread squares and two strawberry slices on the other half.
Stack one cucumber-topped bread square onto a strawberry-topped square to form a delicate layered sandwich.
Garnish each tea slice with a small mint leaf on top for a burst of freshness.
Serve immediately or refrigerate for up to an hour before serving to keep them fresh and crisp.
