Cucumber Tea Sandwiches

Description: Cut sandwiches after they are assembled to avoid messy edges and have a cleaner look. I find that extra chopped dill is nice. A nice looking garnish is a half a grape flat side down on a slice of cucumber.

Ingredients:

• 8 1/2 ounces creme fraiche
• 3 tablespoons chopped dill
• 20 slices white pullman bread, 1/4 inch thick, crusts removed
• 4 seedless European cucumber, peeled, sliced 1/4 inch thick

Steps:

1. Combine creme fraiche and dill.
2. Sandwich Assembly: Spread one side of each bread slice with the dilled creme fraiche.
3. Layer the cucumber slices over half of the bread slices. Top with the remaining bread and slice each sandwich into four smaller triangular tea sandwiches.
4. Pierce garnish with frilly toothpick and through the sandwich.
