This party was especially awesome, however, because I didn't throw the party. I just got to make food...score! So, I went with the oldies but the goodies: Cucumber Sandwiches & Homeade Oreos. Both recipes only have a few ingredients, LOVE RECIPES WITH ONLY A FEW INGREDIENTS!
Here is the recipe for.....
CUCUMBER SANDWICHES:
Here's what you need:
1. Cucumbers - I like English, but get what you like. I cut them about 1/4 inch thick and at a slight angle to make them a little larger.
2. Baguettes - Sam's Club has the best! (I feel) They have to be fresh though. So if you need to get them days before you use them, I suggest buying them frozen. Ask at the bakery. The cream cheese mixture can cover about 4 baguettes. That makes a ton though, so I usually just buy 2 baguettes.
3. Turkey - This is optional. Get thinly sliced and I only use about 1/2 a slice to make it last.
4. The Mixture - 1 packet of dry Italian dressing mix, 1 c. mayo, and 1 8 oz. cube of cream cheese, softened. Make sure your cream cheese is soft and use a hand mixture to blend it together. Then add in the italian seasoning and mayo. If you end up only using 1/2 the mixture, this is an AWESOME spread on sandwiches later on.
-Cut your baguettes into 1 inch circles.
-Spread on the spread.
-Stack on the turkey.
-And top it off with the cucumber.
People love these and they are such a simple little sandwich.
Allie, what a simple, but great recipe! You’re right, cucumber sandwiches are a great party food and nothing is better than a fresh baguette.
