Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 large Cucumber
- 226 grams Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 slices White sandwich bread
- 2 tablespoons Butter (optional)
Instructions
Wash and dry the cucumber. Use a mandoline or sharp knife to thinly slice the cucumber into uniform rounds. Set aside.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, fresh dill, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well blended.
Trim the crusts off the sandwich bread slices to create clean edges.
If desired, lightly spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each bread slice to prevent them from becoming soggy.
Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture evenly over four slices of the bread.
Layer the cucumber slices on top of the cream cheese mixture, slightly overlapping them to ensure full coverage.
Top the cucumber layer with the remaining bread slices to create sandwiches.
Using a sharp knife, cut each sandwich into quarters, either into squares or triangles, depending on preference.
Serve immediately as fresh sandwiches are best enjoyed right after assembling.
