If you are looking for a simple, fresh, and slightly refined idea for summer, these cucumber and robiola cheese tea sandwiches are perfect.
They slightly resemble the British style of afternoon tea, but with a more Mediterranean touch.
The cucumber, with its crispness and delicately refreshing taste, is the quintessential summer vegetable: low in calories, rich in water, and pleasantly thirst-quenching, perfectly complementing the creaminess of robiola cheese and is perfect for any salad.
They are light, creamy, extremely easy to prepare, and require no cooking: ideal when it’s hot, and you don’t want to turn anything on. Also great for appetizers, buffets, or picnics!

Steps
I start this quick and easy recipe by peeling the cucumber, then finely slicing it with a peeler or mandoline and placing it in a bowl with a pinch of salt and a few drops of lemon juice.
I then let it rest for 5/10 minutes.
Spread the robiola cheese cream on the slices of bread. Slightly squeeze the cucumbers and place them on top.
Close with another slice of bread, press gently, and cut into triangles or rectangles.Meanwhile, in a bowl, I soften the robiola cheese with a spoon, adding a drizzle of oil, salt, pepper, and some pieces of chives that are divine!
I cut the whole slice of bread into 3 squares and then into triangles and pack everything with plastic wrap to keep these simple cucumber tea sandwiches soft and fluffy.
Super easy and definitely light!
Enjoy your meal and happy cooking! Annalisa
Unfortunately, even using a serrated knife, the slice came out wavy… or maybe that’s why it turned out to be a mess??
