Key Ingredients- 1 fresh cucumber
- 3 slices of soft bread
- 3 Tbsp cream cheese
- 1/2 to 1 tsp salt
- 1 Tbsp butter
- A little olive oil
- A pinch of black pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash and prepare 1 fresh cucumber. Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, slice the cucumber as thinly as possible. Thinly sliced cucumber will retain its crispness and blend well with the bread. Gently toss the thinly sliced cucumber with 1/2 to 1 tsp of salt. Let it sit for about 5 minutes to naturally draw out the moisture.
Step 2
Preheat a pan over medium-low heat with 1 Tbsp of butter. Place the 3 slices of bread in the pan and toast them until golden brown on both sides, flipping them over. This is the step to create the perfect base: crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. Toasting over medium-low heat ensures they turn golden without burning.
Step 3
Spread cream cheese generously over the warm, toasted bread slices. Aim for about 1 Tbsp of cream cheese per slice. Use the back of a spoon or a knife to spread the cream cheese evenly across the entire surface of the bread. The creaminess of the cheese will create a fantastic harmony with the crispiness of the toast.
Step 4
Now, arrange the drained, salted cucumber slices neatly on top of the cream cheese. The freshness of the cucumber will enhance the toast’s flavor. Finally, sprinkle with black pepper to your liking and drizzle a little fragrant olive oil. Your delicious cucumber toast is complete! It’s simple but incredibly tasty, so be sure to make it.
