Instructions
Prepare the Cucumber
Slice the cucumber lengthwise into long, thin slices. Ensure the slices are even enough to layer smoothly within the sandwich.
Prepare the Bread
Spread each slice of bread with approximately one tablespoon of cream cheese. Ensure the cream cheese is evenly distributed to help the sandwich hold together.
Assemble the Sandwich
Arrange the cucumber slices evenly over one slice of the cream-cheese-covered bread. If desired, lightly season the cucumber with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
Complete the Sandwich
Place the second slice of bread over the cucumbers, cream-cheese side down. Press gently to secure the layers.
Serve
Slice the sandwich in half and serve immediately for the best texture and freshness.
Notes
To prepare this One Minute Cucumber Sandwich Recipe gluten-free, simply replace the standard bread with certified gluten-free bread. Ensure that the cream cheese and any seasonings used are also labeled gluten-free to avoid cross-contamination.
