Preparation

  1. Peel the cucumbers. Slice each about one-eighth-inch thick and spread the slices on paper towels to remove excess moisture. You should have about 40 slices.
  2. Mix the cream cheese and tarragon together. Place about a teaspoon of this mixture on half the cucumber slices. It is not necessary to spread the cream cheese mixture evenly. Top each with a plain slice of cucumber, pressing it down gently to squash the cream cheese underneath so it fills the sandwich without oozing out.
  3. Arrange the slices on a platter and refrigerate up to two hours before serving.
