Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Cucumber
- 8 slices White or whole wheat sandwich bread
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, finely chopped
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Wash the cucumber thoroughly and peel it if desired. Slice the cucumber into very thin rounds using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer.
In a small mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, unsalted butter, fresh dill, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix thoroughly until smooth and spreadable.
Lay out the bread slices on a clean surface. Spread a thin, even layer of the cream cheese mixture on one side of each bread slice.
Arrange the cucumber slices in slightly overlapping layers on half of the bread slices. Ensure the cucumber is evenly distributed.
Top the cucumber-covered bread slices with the remaining bread slices, cream cheese side down, to form a sandwich.
Using a sharp serrated knife, carefully trim off the crusts from each sandwich for a uniform look.
Cut each sandwich into four equal triangles or rectangles, depending on your preference.
Serve immediately or cover the sandwiches with a slightly damp paper towel and plastic wrap to keep them fresh until ready to serve.
