Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices Soft white or whole wheat bread
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
- 1 medium Cucumber, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Carrots, shredded
- 3 small Radishes, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon Fresh dill, finely chopped
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Butter, softened
Instructions
In a small bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, fresh dill, salt, and black pepper until smooth and well combined.
Spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each bread slice. This will create a barrier to prevent the bread from becoming soggy.
On four of the buttered slices, evenly spread a layer of the cream cheese mixture.
Layer the cucumber slices, shredded carrots, and radish slices on top of the cream cheese spread. Ensure even distribution so every bite is flavorful.
Cover each vegetable-laden slice with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side facing inward.
Using a sharp knife, carefully trim the crusts off each sandwich for an elegant presentation.
Cut each sandwich into quarters, either in squares or triangles, depending on your preference.
Arrange the sandwiches on a platter and serve immediately, or cover with a damp paper towel and plastic wrap to keep them fresh until ready to serve.
