Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 oz Cream cheese, softened
- 2 tbsp Mayonnaise
- 2 tbsp Fresh dill, chopped
- 0.5 tsp Garlic powder
- 0.25 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 1 Cucumber, thinly sliced
- 12 slices White bread, crusts removed
- 1 bunch Fresh dill sprigs (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, chopped fresh dill, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until smooth and well incorporated.
Lay the slices of bread on a clean surface. Spread an even layer of the cream cheese mixture onto one side of each slice.
Layer thin cucumber slices evenly over half of the prepared bread slices, slightly overlapping the edges of the cucumber slices.
Place the remaining slices of bread, cream cheese side down, over the cucumber slices to form sandwiches.
Using a sharp knife, trim off the crusts (if not already removed) and cut each sandwich into quarters, either in squares or triangles.
Optional: Garnish each finger sandwich with a small sprig of fresh dill.
Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
