Ingredients

• 4 tablespoons Cream cheese
• 3 tablespoons Olive tapenade
• 2 pieces Ciabatta bread
• 0.5 unit Cucumber

• 2 tablespoons Feta cheese
• 1 teaspoon Extra virgin olive oil
• 0.25 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 pinch Salt

Directions

Step 1

Slice the ciabatta bread pieces in half lengthwise to create the top and bottom halves of each sandwich.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese and olive tapenade until evenly combined. Set aside.

Step 3

Thinly slice the cucumber, tomato, and red onion. Pat them dry with a paper towel to prevent the sandwich from becoming soggy.

Step 5

Layer the cucumber slices, tomato slices, and red onion on the bottom half of each sandwich.

Step 6

Sprinkle the feta cheese on top of the vegetables, followed by mixed greens or arugula.

Step 7

Drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the layers, and sprinkle with dried oregano, a pinch of salt, and black pepper.

Step 8

Place the top half of the ciabatta bread over the layers and gently press to compact the sandwich slightly.

Step 9

Cut each sandwich in half if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy your Cream Cheese Tapenade Mediterranean Sandwich!
