3
Sprinkle salt and freshly ground black pepper evenly over the buttered sides of the bread to enhance flavor.
4
Carefully layer the cucumber slices on the buttered bread, ensuring they overlap slightly for maximum coverage.
5
Once topped with cucumber, place another slice of bread on top of each layered cucumber sandwich, buttered side down.
6
Using a sharp knife, trim off the edges (crusts) of each sandwich to create a smooth and clean look before cutting them into quarters for serving.
