Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Seed the cucumber, then slice it thinly. Place the slices in a bowl and add a few splashes of vinegar, tossing to coat. Let the cucumber soak in the vinegar for 30 minutes.
-
Step 2.
While the cucumber soaks, you can prepare other tasks or simply let it sit. After 30 minutes, drain the cucumber slices well in a colander.
-
Step 3.
Butter one side of each bread slice. Arrange the drained cucumber slices evenly on half of the buttered bread slices, covering the surface. Season with a dash of salt and pepper.
-
Step 4.
Top with the remaining buttered bread slices, buttered side down, to form sandwiches. Using a sharp knife, cut off the crusts from each sandwich, then slice each sandwich into quarters (four triangles or squares). Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
