Note: If you have concerns about the raw egg yolk, use a good quality store bought mayonnaise or substitute cream cheese (softened). For a vegan version, replace the mayonnaise with hummus or a mayo' substitute: Recipe #754 for example.

Minty Mayonnaise: in a blender or food processor, combine the egg yolks, mustard, lemon juice, and mint.
3
With motor running, add the oil in a slow steady stream and blend until emulsified. Season to taste with salt and pepper and transfer to a bowl.
4
Tea Sandwiches: Spread each slice of bread generously on one side with the mayonnaise.
5
On half the slices, arrange an even layer of lemon cucumber slices. Top with remaining bread slices.

Cut each sandwich into quarters before serving.
