Steps:

In a small bowl, mix together the butter, parsley, chives, shallot and lemon zest.
Lay the bread slices out on a clean work surface. Spread 2 teaspoons of the compound butter over each slice of bread. Trim the cucumber slices so that they are the length of the bread slices. (Save the scraps for salads.) Lay 4 pieces of cucumber across 1 slice of buttered bread--it is okay if the cucumbers overlap. Repeat on 5 more slices of bread. Season the top of the cucumbers lightly with salt. Next, add a single layer of radishes over the cucumbers, about 12 rounds per slice of bread.
Toss the frisee with the lemon juice and a pinch of salt. Divide the frisee evenly over the radishes. Top the frisee with the remaining 6 slices buttered bread. Cut each sandwich into thirds with a serrated knife to make small rectangles. Serve immediately.

Ingredients

1 stick (4 ounces) salted Irish butter, such as Kerrygold, at room temperature

1 teaspoon lemon zest plus juice of 1/2 lemon
12 slices brioche bread (1/2-inch slices), crusts removed
24 thin lengthwise slices Persian cucumber (1/4-inch slices)
Kosher salt
3 to 4 small red radishes, thinly sliced into rounds
1 cup frisee, broken into small pieces

EASY CUCUMBER PARTY SANDWICHES

These easy, beautiful, yummy sandwiches are perfect for brunches, tea parties or spring and summer lunches. Can be prepared ahead of time and assembled just before serving. This is an easy appetizer to prepare the day before, except for the assembly. The cream cheese mixture is actually better after about 8 hours. Feel free to experiment with the dressing; we prefer the buttermilk dressing but ranch or Italian works great, too. Also, cocktail bread can be substituted for the hand-cut bread, which will save 10 to 15 minutes.

CUCUMBER TEA SANDWICHES

My children wanted to plant a garden, and we ended up with buckets of cucumbers. When I tired of making pickles, I came up with these pretty, little sandwiches. We made 200 of them for a family gathering, and everyone wanted the recipe. -Kimberly Smith Brighton, Tennessee
