    These look so refreshing! My mom has an abundance of mint growing at her house right now so I’ll be sure to make these for my next mini tea party with my daughter.

Cucumber Sandwiches
{Makes 6 tea sandwiches}

6 slices white bread
1 Persian cucumber
4 Tbsp cream cheese
1 – 2 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp mint, chopped
Salt and pepper

Slice cucumber thinly, lengthwise. Brush with olive oil, and grill slices over medium-high heat until browned.

Combine cream cheese with olive oil in a mixer; whisk until soft and slightly airy. Fold in chopped mint and season with salt and pepper.

Spread cream cheese mixture on both sides of the bread from crust to crust. Sandwich the cucumber between the bread, slice on a bias, and serve.
