Ingredients
- 1 large Cucumber
- 8 slices White or whole wheat sandwich bread
- 4 tablespoons Cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, softened
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill, finely chopped
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper, freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
Directions
Step 1
Wash the cucumber thoroughly and peel it if desired. Slice the cucumber into very thin rounds using a sharp knife or mandoline slicer.
Step 2
In a small mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, unsalted butter, fresh dill, salt, black pepper, and lemon juice. Mix thoroughly until smooth and spreadable.
Step 3
Lay out the bread slices on a clean surface. Spread a thin, even layer of the cream cheese mixture on one side of each bread slice.
Step 4
Arrange the cucumber slices in slightly overlapping layers on half of the bread slices. Ensure the cucumber is evenly distributed.
Step 5
Top the cucumber-covered bread slices with the remaining bread slices, cream cheese side down, to form a sandwich.
Step 6
Using a sharp serrated knife, carefully trim off the crusts from each sandwich for a uniform look.
Step 7
Cut each sandwich into four equal triangles or rectangles, depending on your preference.
Step 8
Serve immediately or cover the sandwiches with a slightly damp paper towel and plastic wrap to keep them fresh until ready to serve.
