Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 225 grams Cream cheese
- 60 grams Pimento-stuffed green olives
- 60 grams Black olives
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
- 8 pieces White bread slices
- 30 grams Butter (optional, softened for spreading)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, add the cream cheese and allow it to soften for about 5 minutes at room temperature for easier mixing.
Finely chop the pimento-stuffed green olives and black olives. Make sure to remove any excess liquid to avoid making the mixture too wet.
Add the chopped olives to the softened cream cheese along with the garlic powder and fresh dill. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are well combined and evenly distributed.
Take two slices of white bread. If desired, spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each slice for an extra layer of flavor and to prevent the cream cheese from soaking into the bread.
Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese and olive mixture evenly across one slice of bread.
Top with the second slice of bread (buttered side down, if using butter). Gently press together to form a sandwich.
Using a sharp knife, trim the crusts off the sandwich for a clean presentation if desired.
Cut the sandwich into halves, quarters, or diagonal triangles, depending on your preference.
Repeat with the remaining bread and cream cheese mixture to create a total of 4 sandwiches.
Serve immediately, or store the sandwiches covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours to maintain freshness.
