Ingredients
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 8 leaves Nasturtium leaves
- 8 slices White bread
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoons Lemon zest
Directions
Step 1
Wash the cucumber and slice it thinly into even rounds. Use a mandoline slicer for perfect, uniform slices if available.
Step 2
Gently rinse the nasturtium leaves and pat dry with a paper towel.
Step 3
In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese with salt, black pepper, and lemon zest until smooth and spreadable.
Step 4
Spread unsalted butter evenly on one side of each slice of bread. This helps create a barrier to prevent the bread from becoming soggy.
Step 5
Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture over the buttered side of half of the bread slices.
Step 6
Arrange the cucumber slices in an even layer on top of the cream cheese, slightly overlapping each slice.
Step 7
Place 2 nasturtium leaves over the cucumber layer, ensuring the vibrant leaves are visible for an elegant presentation.
Step 8
Top with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side facing inwards, to form a sandwich.
Step 9
Using a sharp knife, trim off the crusts from each sandwich and cut them into your desired shape—rectangles, triangles, or squares.
Step 10
Arrange the sandwiches on a serving platter and garnish with a few extra nasturtium flowers or leaves as decoration, if desired.
Step 11
Serve immediately or cover with a damp paper towel and plastic wrap to keep fresh until ready to serve.
