Essential Ingredients- 1 fresh cucumber
- 2 slices of multigrain bread
- A little peach jam
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare all your ingredients. Wash the cucumber thoroughly under running water and pat it dry.
Step 2
Slicing the cucumber thinly is key. Use a vegetable peeler or a knife to create thin, long slices of cucumber. The thinner the slices, the prettier they will look on the bread.
Step 3
Take your two slices of multigrain bread. Spread a layer of peach jam evenly on one side of each slice using a spoon or knife. You can adjust the amount of jam to your preference.
Step 4
Now, arrange the thinly sliced cucumbers on top of the jam-covered bread. Overlap the cucumber slices slightly, placing them diagonally for an attractive presentation. They’ll look like pretty scales.
Step 5
You can enjoy the open sandwiches as they are, or for a neater presentation, trim the crusts off the bread. Then, cut them into your desired size and shape to complete your creation. (e.g., cut in half, or into bite-sized pieces).
Step 6
Pro Tip: For an extra special touch, try weaving the cucumber slices together to create a mosaic pattern. This makes for a beautifully decorated cucumber open sandwich, perfect for special occasions or when entertaining guests!
