Ingredients

  • White bread (soft and thin slices, crusts removed)
  • Whole wheat bread
  • Rye or pumpernickel bread
  • Cucumber, thinly sliced
  • Smoked salmon
  • Egg salad (hard-boiled eggs, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard)

Instructions

  1. Lay out bread slices and trim the crusts. Ensure each slice is evenly shaped.
  2. Lightly butter each slice of bread to prevent sogginess.

  4. Place the second slice of bread on top of fillings and press lightly to seal.
  5. Cut sandwiches into small squares, triangles, or creative shapes using a sharp knife.
  6. Garnish with microgreens, lemon slices, or edible flowers.
  7. Serve immediately or cover with damp paper towels and plastic wrap to keep fresh until serving.
