I jazzed up the quintessential teatime cucumber sandwich to suit my family's tastes. This was my absolute go-to sandwich last summer when I was pregnant. It hit all the right spots!

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons butter, softened
• 8 slices sourdough bread
• 1 large cucumber, thinly sliced
• 2 medium tomatoes, thinly sliced
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 1/4 cup fresh mint leaves

Directions

1. Spread butter over 4 slices of bread. Layer with cucumber and tomatoes; sprinkle with salt, pepper and mint. Top with remaining bread. If desired, cut each sandwich into quarters.
