Ingredients

• 225 grams Cream cheese
• 60 grams Pimento-stuffed green olives
• 60 grams Black olives
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
• 8 pieces White bread slices
• 30 grams Butter (optional, softened for spreading)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, add the cream cheese and allow it to soften for about 5 minutes at room temperature for easier mixing.

Step 2

Finely chop the pimento-stuffed green olives and black olives. Make sure to remove any excess liquid to avoid making the mixture too wet.

Step 3

Add the chopped olives to the softened cream cheese along with the garlic powder and fresh dill. Mix thoroughly until all the ingredients are well combined and evenly distributed.

Step 4

Take two slices of white bread. If desired, spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each slice for an extra layer of flavor and to prevent the cream cheese from soaking into the bread.

Step 5

Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese and olive mixture evenly across one slice of bread.

Step 6

Top with the second slice of bread (buttered side down, if using butter). Gently press together to form a sandwich.

Step 7

Using a sharp knife, trim the crusts off the sandwich for a clean presentation if desired.

Step 8

Cut the sandwich into halves, quarters, or diagonal triangles, depending on your preference.

Step 9

Repeat with the remaining bread and cream cheese mixture to create a total of 4 sandwiches.

Step 10

Serve immediately, or store the sandwiches covered in the refrigerator for up to 4 hours to maintain freshness.
