Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 slices White bread (or sandwich bread of choice)
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill, finely chopped
- 2 Large tomatoes, thinly sliced
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
Instructions
Lay out the slices of bread on a clean surface. Using a rolling pin, gently roll the bread to slightly flatten it for a smoother presentation.
In a small bowl, mix the sour cream with the chopped dill, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each slice of bread. This step prevents the bread from getting soggy.
On four slices of bread, spread an even layer of the sour cream mixture over the buttered side.
Top the sour cream layer with thin tomato slices, overlapping them slightly if necessary.
Place the remaining slices of bread, buttered side down, on top of the tomatoes to form sandwiches.
Using a sharp serrated knife, trim the crusts off each sandwich for a clean and uniform look.
Cut each sandwich into four equal squares or triangles, depending on your preferred presentation.
Arrange the sandwiches on a serving platter and garnish with a sprig of fresh dill, if desired. Serve immediately.
