Cucumber Tea Sandwiches with Chive Butter (779)

Ingredients:

• 4 ounces butter (room temperature, (if using unsalted, add an extra pinch or two of kosher salt))
• 1 Tablespoon chives (finely chopped)
• 1 pinch kosher salt ((not table salt as it's too salty))
• 1/2 English cucumber (peeled or scored)
• 6 slices white bread

Instructions:

1. Blend softened butter with finely chopped chives and a pinch of salt. If using unsalted, check for flavor and add more if necessary.
2. Peel or score the cucumber (see notes). Slice very thinly.
3. Butter each slice of bread and lay cucumbers on 3 slices, slightly overlapping.
4. Top with remaining slices of bread and trim crusts carefully. Cut into fingers or triangle.
5. If desired, butter one edge of each sandwich and cover with finely chopped chives
