Crispy Cucumber Sandwiches

 

 

My version of the not-so-dainty cucumber sandwich is made with two pieces of

rustic whole wheat sourdough bread, two heaping tablespoonfuls of hummus, and as

many slices of olives and cucumbers as my bread can hold. To add interesting

texture, I like to grill the sandwiches in a panini pan so that I end up with

three different layers of crunch.

 

With the abundance of fresh cucumbers available now, this is definitely a

budget-friendly sandwich too. Enjoy!

 

Crispy Cucumber Sandwiches

 

1 tsp. olive oil

2 pieces whole wheat bread

2 Tbsp. hummus

1 Tbsp. chopped olives

8–10 thin cucumber slices

 

•Preheat a grill or panini pan over medium heat.

 

•Brush the olive oil on one side of each slice of bread, then turn the slices

over so that the oiled side is down.

 

•On the dry side, add one tablespoonful of hummus to each piece of bread. Next

add a layer of olives and then add the cucumbers. Close the sandwich and place

in the pan.

 

•Cook for 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until it begins to brown and grill

marks begin to appear.

OMG. There are times I'll read a recipe and cannot wait to try it. Unfortunately

it's bedtime so I can't do it tonight, but that sandwich is going to be

breakfast tomorrow morning. I'm sitting here with my stomach growling! I've got

everything I need to make it. Hopefully I won't sleep eat tonight. If I do, bet

I know what it will be. (I sleep eat, sleep walk, sleep game, and sleep bake but

don't do a whole lot of sleep sleeping.)
