Notes
Make-ahead tip: If you want to make them ahead, be sure to add a layer of cream cheese on the bottom piece of bread and the top piece of bread. It will keep the cucumber from leaching too much liquid that can make the sandwiches soggy. I wouldn’t make them more than a day in advance.
Bread tip: You can create fun shapes by using cookie cutters to cut the bread. They don’t have to be triangles! If you opt to make shapes, cut the bread first and then assemble the sandwiches.
Storage: The sandwiches are best served freshly made, but keep them in an airtight container if you need to store them. They will keep in the refrigerator for 24 hours.
