    From the Test Kitchen

    For our hearty take on an English classic, the cucumber sandwich, we’re layering toasted baguette with crunchy cucumbers, hard-boiled eggs, and a creamy spread of gouda cheese, mayo, and pickled peppers mixed with zesty spices like paprika and cayenne pepper. You'll round it out with a simple romaine and peach salad dressed in a dijon vinaigrette.

    1 Prepare the ingredients

    Place an oven rack in the center of the oven; preheat to 450°F. Fill a small pot 3/4 of the way up with water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Halve the baguettes. Grate the gouda on the large side of a box grater. Finely chop the peppers. Roughly chop the lettuce. Halve, pit, and thinly slice the peaches. Thinly slice the cucumbers on an angle. In a medium bowl, combine the sugar and half the vinegar; season with salt and pepper. Stir until the sugar has dissolved. Add half the sliced cucumbers; toss to coat. Set aside to marinate, stirring occasionally, at least 10 minutes. Taste, then season with salt and pepper if desired.

    Carefully add the eggs to the pot of boiling water. Cook 9 minutes. Drain thoroughly and rinse under cold water 30 seconds to 1 minute to stop the cooking process. When cool enough to handle, peel the cooked eggs. Transfer to a cutting board. Thinly slice, then season with salt and pepper.
