Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole English cucumber
- 225 grams Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 12 slices White sandwich bread
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
Instructions
Wash the cucumber thoroughly, then peel it if desired. Slice the cucumber into very thin rounds using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, fresh dill, garlic powder, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix until smooth and well-combined.
Using a butter knife, spread a thin, even layer of unsalted butter on one side of each slice of bread. This helps prevent the cream cheese mixture from making the bread soggy.
Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture on top of the buttered side of 6 slices of bread.
Layer the cucumber slices evenly over the cream cheese mixture on each slice of bread, slightly overlapping the slices.
Place the remaining 6 slices of bread on top, buttered side down, to form sandwiches.
Using a sharp serrated knife, carefully trim the crusts off each sandwich. Then cut each sandwich into 4 even pieces, either rectangles or triangles.
Arrange the finger sandwiches on a serving tray and serve immediately. If not serving right away, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 hours to keep them fresh.
