Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 slices White or whole wheat sandwich bread
- 8 ounces Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 large Cucumber
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, fresh dill, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Wash and dry the cucumber. Using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice the cucumber into very thin rounds.
Lay out the slices of bread on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture onto one side of each slice.
Place overlapping cucumber slices onto half of the bread slices, ensuring each piece is evenly covered.
Top the cucumber-layered slices with the remaining bread slices, cream cheese side down, to create a sandwich.
Using a sharp knife, carefully trim the crusts off each sandwich for a clean, neat edge.
Cut each sandwich into quarters diagonally to create triangle-shaped finger sandwiches, or cut into rectangles or squares as preferred.
Arrange the sandwiches on a platter and garnish with a few sprigs of fresh dill if desired. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
