Recipe Tips

• Butter helps prevent the bread from becoming soggy due to the cucumber's moisture.
• Slice the cucumber as thinly as possible for a crisp and delicate texture.
• Serve immediately after assembling for the freshest taste.
• If you prefer a warm sandwich, lightly toast it on a pan with a little butter until golden.
• You can add lettuce, tomato slices, or cheese for extra flavor and nutrition.
