Cucumber and Mastershalum Tea Sandwiches (-- Tasty Dish--)

Submitted by COOKGIRl

"From The Pooh Cook Book. Updated by me a little. The optional creme fraiche condiment (which adults will probably like better than children) was found on a blog somewhere. Be sure the bread you use in this recipe is fresh and soft."

Delicious little sandwiches! I used cream cheese and wheat bread and endive for the greens. Yum! Made for ZWT#6 by a fellow Looney Spoon Phoodie!
