Vegan cream cheese is amped up with three different fresh herbs -- chives, parsley, and tarragon -- then teamed with delicate cucumber rounds for the filling of these elegant finger sandwiches.
Ingredients
-
1 (8-ounce) container vegan cream cheese, such as Kite Hill
-
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh chives, plus more for serving
-
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley
-
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh tarragon
-
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
-
8 slices vegan white or pumpernickel sandwich bread, or a combination
-
2 mini cucumbers, thinly sliced into rounds
Directions
-
Stir together cream cheese and herbs. Season lightly with salt.
-
Spread 1 tablespoon herbed cream cheese on each bread slice. Shingle cucumber rounds on top of four bread slices. Season with salt and pepper. Sandwich with remaining bread slices, cream cheese-side down.
-
Using a sharp knife, cut off crusts, then cut sandwiches into triangles or fingers. Lightly dip one edge of each sandwich in chives; serve.
Cook's Notes
Our test kitchen is partial to Kite Hill's plain cream cheese-style spread, which is made with almond milk, for our vegan herbed cream cheese, but if you're nut-free, look for a soy alternative.
