Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Whole grain bread slices
- 120 grams Cream cheese
- 1 small Cucumber
- 1 medium Carrot
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon Chives
- 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
Start by finely chopping the cucumber and grating the carrot. Set both aside for assembling the sandwich.
In a medium bowl, combine the cream cheese, fresh dill, chives, red chili flakes, black pepper, and salt. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly on one side of each of the 4 slices of bread.
Distribute the chopped cucumber and grated carrot across two of the slices, on top of the cream cheese layer.
Place the remaining slices of bread, cream cheese side down, on top of the cucumber and carrot layers to form two sandwiches.
Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Place one sandwich in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat with the second sandwich, adding more butter if needed.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them cool slightly before slicing them in halves or quarters, as desired.
Serve warm and enjoy this flavorful variation of a cream cheese sandwich!
