# How-To Steps:
01 - Evenly spread softened butter on each slice of white bread. Layer thin cucumber slices over 4 slices, season lightly with salt and freshly ground black pepper, then top with the remaining bread slices. Slice each sandwich into three uniform finger-sized pieces.
02 - Spread softened cream cheese on each slice of pumpernickel or whole wheat bread. Layer smoked salmon atop 4 slices, then sprinkle with chopped fresh dill and a teaspoon of lemon juice. Close sandwiches with the remaining slices and cut each into three finger-sized portions.
03 - Mash hard-boiled eggs with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, and season with salt and pepper until smooth yet retaining some texture. Spread the mixture on 4 slices of whole grain bread. Top with trimmed watercress, add the remaining bread slices, then cut each sandwich into three fingers.
04 - Place all sandwich fingers on a tiered platter or serving tray for an elegant presentation appropriate for a royal tea party.
