Ingredients

• 8 slices Gluten-free sandwich bread
• 1 large Cucumber
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.5 cup Gluten-free cream cheese
• 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
• 1 tablespoon Fresh chives
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Wash the cucumber thoroughly and peel it. Slice the cucumber into very thin rounds, approximately 1/8 inch thick.

Step 2

Place the sliced cucumbers onto a paper towel to absorb excess moisture, lightly salting them to enhance flavor. Let them rest for about 10 minutes.

Step 3

In a small bowl, combine the softened butter with the gluten-free cream cheese, stirring until smooth and well mixed.

Step 4

Finely chop the fresh dill and chives, then add to the cream cheese mixture. Stir in the salt and black pepper until fully incorporated.

Step 5

Spread an even layer of the cream cheese mixture onto one side of each gluten-free bread slice.

Step 6

Layer the cucumber slices evenly on four of the slices with the cream cheese spread.

Step 7

Place the remaining four slices of bread, cream cheese side down, onto the cucumbers to form sandwiches.

Step 8

Using a sharp knife, carefully trim the crusts off the sandwiches. Slice each sandwich into thirds or triangles, as desired.

Step 9

Serve immediately, optionally garnishing with additional fresh dill or chives.
