Cucumber-Ricotta Sandwiches

Delish! I made this as an appetizer, using rounds from a baguette. Don’t spread the cheese on too thick: herbs should be the star, in my opinion. Kick from pepper is wonderful. I used nasturtium flowers from garden as a centerpiece on the plate rather than sprinkling them on toasts. (And I added a few nasturtium leaves to herb mixture, since I had them.) I may try Boursin or another cheese next time, as some have suggested.

Delicious! I used herbs I had in the garden: mint, basil, chives, and skipped the chile but sprinkled shichimi togarashi on top. A drizzle of olive oil in the cucumbers really helped.

Easy and tasty. Used fresh dill & basil and dried for the other herbs. Subbed a jalapeño for the Serrano. Used just shy of 8 oz of ricotta and the juice of half a lime because that’s what I had on hand. The lime juice melds the herbs into something zesty, green and vegetal. I liked this far more than expected, and it’s now in my rotation.

This was a herbaceous delight!! Deceptively simple yet tastily complex! When I can find edible flowers, I'd love to serve this to guests. So pretty and yummy!

Can't wait to make this, especially with the serrano. What wines would pair well with the dish?

Skip jalapeño which overwhelmed the ricotta Add maldon salt and olive oil Maybe tomatoes?

Can we make this advance and store? What would you skip in the step if you want to store the mixture? Salt I guess?

We found it kinda' boring. But I think it has potential. I made it as written.

Delicious and light!

My first cucumber sandwich! I used cucumbers from the garden!! And most of the herbs and calendula -- what a perfect meal for a summer night's garden party for 3. Just wondering what everyone used for ricotta? I just got what they had at the local Market Basket.

Store out of mint, chives had died in the refrigerator, and yet still tasty without them! I added a drizzle of olive oil to the cucumber mix to make a bit more of a “dressing.” Enjoyed on toasted baguette with the homemade ricotta.

I prefer it without the lime juice, also just basil, chives, and mint for herbs and a little sea salt. I put a layer of herbs over the ricotta to hold them in place (you could also mix the ricotta with the herbs), followed by cukes, salt, and another light layer of herbs. Delicious and healthy lunch!

We made our own ricotta from the link in the recipe. Wonderful and worth it! I make an excellent crusty sourdough so used that. Perfect! I cut the serrano in half because I worried about it having too much kick for some of the people eating it: I shouldn’t have. It blends that well. Served it as an appetizer. We all loved it. Refreshing!

Great! Instead of ricotta, we used "everything" goat cheese which added some depth. Always cautious about peppers, we opted for marinated jalapeños. Rustic bread was fine. Wonderful for a "light" picnic before evening summer stock theater. A keeper.

Consider adding minced red onion and red pepper. I marinated the mixture with lime juice for an hour, then drained it before adding to the fresh ciabatta. Delicious!
