Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Gluten-free sandwich bread
- 1 large Cucumber
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup Gluten-free cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon Fresh chives
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Wash the cucumber thoroughly and peel it. Slice the cucumber into very thin rounds, approximately 1/8 inch thick.
Place the sliced cucumbers onto a paper towel to absorb excess moisture, lightly salting them to enhance flavor. Let them rest for about 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, combine the softened butter with the gluten-free cream cheese, stirring until smooth and well mixed.
Finely chop the fresh dill and chives, then add to the cream cheese mixture. Stir in the salt and black pepper until fully incorporated.
Spread an even layer of the cream cheese mixture onto one side of each gluten-free bread slice.
Layer the cucumber slices evenly on four of the slices with the cream cheese spread.
Place the remaining four slices of bread, cream cheese side down, onto the cucumbers to form sandwiches.
Using a sharp knife, carefully trim the crusts off the sandwiches. Slice each sandwich into thirds or triangles, as desired.
Serve immediately, optionally garnishing with additional fresh dill or chives.
