From the Test Kitchen

For our hearty take on the English classic, the cucumber sandwich, we’re layering toasted baguette with crunchy cucumbers, hard-boiled egg, and a creamy spread of gouda cheese, mayo, pickled jalapeño, and zesty spices including paprika and cayenne pepper. A simple side salad gets a bright lift from lightly sweet persimmon, one of our favorite seasonal fruits.
