Lemon Dill Cucumber Tea Sandwich
Prep Time: 25 min.
Makes 8 – 10 open-faced sandwiches
Ingredients
- 1 stick (½ cup) butter, softened
- ½ tsp. dried dill
- ¼ tsp. salt
- ¼ tsp. garlic powder
- ¼ tsp. onion powder
- 1/8 tsp. all-purpose seasoning
- pinch black pepper
- zest of one lemon
- white bread, frozen
- cucumber
- lemon
- sea salt
Instructions:
- Combine butter with the spices and lemon zest in a bowl, mixing well. Set aside.
- Slice your cucumber into thin 1/8-inch rounds. Slice a few, very thin slices of lemon; take out any seeds and cut into very tiny wedges.
- To assemble, spread a nice layer of dill butter on a slice of frozen bread (using frozen bread keeps the sandwiches from getting messy while assembling). Use a flower-shaped cookie cutter and cut out the sandwich.
- Place a cucumber and a tiny lemon wedge on top of the sandwich.
- Keep sandwiches in a sealed container in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
- Right before serving, lightly sprinkle sea salt on the tops of the sandwiches.
Enjoy!
Assembly Tips:
- When assembling, you don’t have to cover the slice of bread completely with dill butter because there will be a lot of excess after stamping out the flower shape.
- Gluten free bread, rice crackers, or even cucumber wedges can replace the white bread, if desired.
