Ingredients
- 1 slice of bread (your favorite kind)
- Cream cheese, to taste (about 2-3 Tbsp)
- 1/2 cucumber
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Start with one slice of bread. If your bread has been frozen, lightly toast it in an air fryer or toaster for a delightful crispness. If using fresh bread, you can use it as is.
Step 2
Slice the cucumber into pieces that fit the size of your bread. Aim for about 0.5 cm thickness for a pleasant texture within the sandwich.
Step 3
Overlap the cucumber slices and secure them together with a fork. This will help keep the cucumber steady while you slice it thinly.
Step 4
Holding the fork-secured cucumber, use a vegetable peeler (or mandoline) to create thin slices. These delicate ribbons of cucumber will blend beautifully into the sandwich.
Step 5
Generously spread cream cheese all over the bread slice, reaching close to the edges. This ensures every bite is rich and creamy. Feel free to adjust the amount of cream cheese to your preference.
Step 6
Arrange the thinly sliced cucumber over the cream cheese-covered bread. Sprinkle a little salt and freshly ground black pepper over the cucumber. The combination of fresh cucumber, creamy cheese, and a hint of seasoning creates a wonderfully refreshing and sophisticated sandwich. Enjoy!
