This article will change the way you think of a cucumber sandwich forever. It is in no way traditional but don't knock it till you've tried it. You may never eat a regular cucumber sandwich ever again.
Preheat your oven to Bake at 450 degrees.
Cut 2 slices of store bought or homemade sourdough bread. Then wash a cucumber and slice it so the pieces are thin and circular. Slice enough pieces to cover one slice of your sour dough bread.
Step 2
Cover a microwave safe plate with one paper towel. Stretch a slice of raw bacon flat on the paper towel and then wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after handling the raw bacon. Place the other paper towel on top of the bacon and then cook in the microwave for 1 to 1.5 minutes or until the bacon is crisp.
Step 3
Place your sourdough slices beside each other on a shallow baking pan. place the cucumber slices on one piece of the bread( not too thick, just one layer, flat or domino form like the picture). Sprinkle with salt and pepper and cayenne pepper to taste. Place a slice of American cheese on top of the cucumber slices and slide the pan in the oven. The goal is to get the bread slightly toasted on the bottom and golden brown and you have to melt the cheese of course. This should take 15 to 20 minutes depending on your oven so keep a close eye on it. Take the pan out of the oven and lift the empty bread slice to check the underside of the toast with a spatula. Don't forget your pot holders when handling hot pans.
Step 4
Once your cheese is melted and your bread is golden brown it is time to plate the sandwich. Lift the cucumber filled sandwich side with a spatula and put it on your plate. check to see if your bacon is done. if it is, remove it from between the grease filled paper towel sheets and break it in two pieces. Place the bacon on top of the melted cheese and cucumbers and cover with the remaining piece of sourdough bread(golden brown side on the outside).
Step 5
Enjoy the fruits of your labor. I survived on this very sandwich through 4 years of college. It's filling, delicious, and perfect for a tight budget. Cheers!
