Cucumber Sandwiches

Great for a luncheon, tea, bridal shower or just a nice change for lunch, cucumber sandwiches are traditionally made with white bread. These are made with 12 grain, but you can easily use white, whole wheat or 12 grain bread.

2 tablespoons softened unsalted butter 
2 tablespoons low fat cream cheese (not 2 ounces)
4 tablespoons chopped fresh mint

1 peeled, thinly sliced cucumber
8 slices of 12-grain bread

1. In a small bowl mix the softened butter, cream cheese, and chopped fresh mint.
2. Spread 1/4 of the mixture on each of 4 slices of the bread.
3. Layer 1/4 of the sliced cucumber on top of the butter/cream cheese mixture.
4. Top with remaining slice of bread.
5. Cut off the crusts and slice each sandwich into quarters.
