Sandwich Ingredients

  • 1 large cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 4 oz (115g) cream cheese, softened
  • 8 slices of white or whole wheat bread
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cucumbers: Rinse the cucumber thoroughly and slice it thinly using a sharp knife or mandoline to achieve even, delicate slices.
  2. Mix the filling: In a bowl, combine the softened cream cheese with finely chopped fresh dill. Stir until well incorporated. Fold in the cucumber slices gently to coat them with the cream cheese mixture.
  3. Assemble the sandwiches: Spread the cucumber and cream cheese mixture evenly over half of the bread slices. Top with the remaining bread slices to form sandwiches.
  4. Slice and serve: Using a sharp knife, cut the sandwiches diagonally or into small squares for serving. Serve immediately for best freshness and texture.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of salt and freshly ground black pepper to the cream cheese mixture.
  • Use crustless bread for a more delicate presentation.
  • Chill the sandwiches for 15-20 minutes before serving to enhance the flavors.
  • To reduce sogginess, pat the cucumber slices dry with paper towels before mixing.
  • Experiment with adding thinly sliced radishes or a hint of lemon zest for variation.
