How to Make Best Darn Cucumber Sandwich Out There

  1. Toast your bagel to a light golden brown.
  2. Spread 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise evenly over both halves of the toasted bagel.

  4. Top with the other bagel half and serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
