Cucumber Sandwiches


From here

Ingredients

  • 1 English cucumber, peeled and sliced into thin rounds
  • Salt
  • 8 ounces whipped cream cheese
  • ½ cup chopped fresh dill
  • 28 slices soft white sandwich bread
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Place the cucumber rounds in a colander. Lightly salt them and let sit until water droplets form on the slices, 15 to 20 minutes. Lay out some paper towels or a clean kitchen towel, place the cucumber slices on top and pat them dry.
  2. Mix the cream cheese and dill together in a small bowl. Season with salt to taste. Stack slices of white bread and cut off the crusts.
  3. Slather each slice of bread with the cream cheese mixture. Put the cucumber rounds on half the slices of bread, overlapping the rounds slightly. Grind pepper on top and sandwich with the remaining slices of bread. Cut in half to make rectangles.

Fried Pickles (Air Fryer)

 

From here

Ingredients

  • 1 (16-ounce) jar dill pickle coins, drained
  • 1 egg
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • Extra-virgin olive oil, for drizzling
  • Remoulade sauce, for dipping

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 370°F.
  2. Use a clean kitchen towel or paper towels to pat the pickles dry. Set aside.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk the egg. In a medium bowl, place the panko.
  4. Dip the pickles into the egg and then into the panko. Place on a plate as you work and then drizzle the pickles with olive oil. Place in a single layer in the air fryer basket with a little space around each pickle. Don’t overcrowd the basket. Work in batches if necessary. Air fry for 11 to 14 minutes, or until crisp and golden brown. The exact cooking time will depend on your air fryer.
  5. Serve immediately with remoulade for dipping.
