Ingredients

¼ cucumber
4 slices white bread
Vegan butter
Salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

Wash and peel the cucumber, then slice it as thinly as possible. Gently pat the slices dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Spread a thin layer of softened butter over each slice of bread. Arrange the cucumber slices evenly on top, then lightly season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Close the sandwiches and trim away the crusts using a serrated bread knife. Finally, cut into neat rectangles, triangles, or any shape you like. Serve immediately, ideally with a cup of tea.

Notes

I recommend peeling the cucumbers first, as this makes the sandwiches much easier to slice cleanly. When it comes to cutting, a sandwich knife works best for neat, even pieces.
For the bread, any white variety will do, though freshly baked is always the most flavorful choice. Avoid thick-sliced loaves, since they tend to be too dense for delicate tea sandwiches. A serrated bread knife is ideal here, as the bread is soft and needs a proper blade to prevent crumbling or tearing.
