Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Vegan cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 English cucumber
- 8 slices Soft vegan white bread
- 2 tablespoons Vegan butter (optional)
Instructions
1. In a small bowl, combine the vegan cream cheese, chopped fresh dill, lemon juice, salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
2. Wash the English cucumber and slice it thinly into rounds. Aim for uniform slices that are about 1/8 inch thick.
3. Lay out the slices of vegan white bread and, if desired, lightly spread a thin layer of vegan butter on one side of each slice to add richness.
4. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture over each slice of bread, covering the surface evenly.
5. Arrange the cucumber slices in a single layer over the cream cheese mixture on half of the bread slices, overlapping slightly if needed to cover the bread completely.
6. Top each cucumber-covered slice with a plain cream cheese slice, cream cheese side down, to make a sandwich.
7. Trim the crusts off each sandwich using a sharp knife to create clean edges.
8. Cut each sandwich into four equal triangles or rectangles, as preferred.
9. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. These sandwiches are best enjoyed on the same day they are made.
