Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Cucumber
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 8 slices White or whole-grain bread
- 2 tablespoons Butter
Instructions
Wash and dry the cucumber, then thinly slice it using a sharp knife or mandoline. Set the slices aside on a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
In a small bowl, combine the cream cheese, mayonnaise, fresh dill, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Lightly butter one side of each bread slice. Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly on the buttered side of all 8 slices.
Place an even layer of cucumber slices on half of the bread slices (4 slices). Be sure to overlap the cucumber slices slightly for full coverage.
Top each cucumber-covered slice with one of the remaining cream cheese-covered bread slices, cream cheese side down, to form a sandwich.
Using a sharp knife, trim the crusts off each sandwich for a clean, classic presentation.
Cut each sandwich into desired shapes—rectangles, triangles, or squares—for serving.
Serve immediately or cover with a damp paper towel and plastic wrap to keep fresh until ready to serve.
