Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 120 grams Cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon Chives
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 slices Soft white bread
- 30 grams Unsalted butter
Instructions
Wash the cucumber thoroughly and cut it into thin, even slices. Use a mandoline slicer for the best results.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, fresh dill, chives, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Trim the crusts off each slice of bread and discard or save for another use (such as making bread crumbs).
Spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each slice of bread. This helps to prevent sogginess.
Spread a generous layer of the herbed cream cheese mixture over the buttered side of 4 slices of bread.
Arrange the cucumber slices evenly on top of the cream cheese layer. Overlap them slightly for full coverage.
Top each cucumber layer with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side down, to form sandwiches.
Use a sharp knife to cut each sandwich into 2 rectangles or 4 triangles, depending on your preference.
Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving for the best texture and freshness.
