Ingredients
- 8 slices sliced whole grain bread
- 1 medium English cucumber
- 4 oz unsalted cream cheese
- 2 tbsp low-fat sour cream
- 1 tbsp fresh dill
- 1 tsp lemon juice
- 1 tsp fresh ground black pepper
- 1 tbsp chives
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing the cucumber. Peel the cucumber and slice it thinly using a mandoline or a sharp knife. Place the slices on a paper towel to absorb excess moisture.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the unsalted cream cheese and low-fat sour cream. Mix until smooth and well-blended.
Step 3
Add the fresh dill, lemon juice, and ground black pepper to the cream cheese mixture, stirring until evenly distributed.
Step 4
Finely chop the chives and fold them into the cream cheese mixture.
Step 5
Lay the bread slices out on a cutting board. Spread a thin, even layer of the cream cheese mixture onto each slice of bread.
Step 6
Arrange the cucumber slices over half of the bread slices, allowing each cucumber slice to slightly overlap the next.
Step 7
Top the cucumber-covered slices with the remaining bread slices, cream cheese side down, to form sandwiches.
Step 8
Press gently to secure the layers, then cut off the crusts from each sandwich using a sharp knife.
Step 9
Cut each sandwich into quarters, forming triangles or squares, as desired.
Step 10
Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 4 hours before serving.
