Patsy’s Cucumber Sandwiches

Peel cucumber and slice lengthwise. Remove seeds and discard. Slice, and then dice very finely. (You may want to use a food processor.) Add cream cheese, salt and Tabasco to cucumbers.

Spread mayonnaise on each slice of bread. Spread cucumber mixture on half of bread slices up to, but not on, crusts. Top with other half of bread slices. With small round biscuit/cookie cutter cut into rounds, avoiding crusts. (I was able to cut 3 to 4 rounds out of each sandwich.) Place in single layer in container, place wax paper between layers, ending with a top layer of wax paper. Refrigerate.

Garnish with parsley or watercress prior to serving.
