How to Make Benedictine Sandwiches
- Peel one medium cucumber and remove the seeds using a spoon.
- Roughly chop the cucumber and add it to a food processor. Pulse 5-6 times until finely minced, but not pureed.
- Transfer the minced cucumber to a medium mixing bowl.
- Finely mince 1/4 cup of red onion using a food chopper or food processor.
- Add the minced red onion to the cucumber.
- Add 8 ounces of cream cheese, 1/2 teaspoon salt, a few drops of green food coloring (adjust to your desired shade), and 1/8 teaspoon of Tabasco sauce to the bowl. Stir until well combined.
- Using a 2-inch biscuit cutter or cookie cutter, cut rounds out of your bread slices (approximately 8-12 slices depending on desired yield).
- Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on one side of each bread round.
- Top each mayonnaise-covered round with a generous spoonful of the cucumber mixture, spreading it to the edges.
- Top with another bread round to create a sandwich.
- Garnish with fresh parsley sprigs or other herbs of your choice. Serve immediately or chill for later.
