• 2 teaspoons Fresh dill
• 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt

Directions

Step 1

Wash the cucumber thoroughly, then slice it into thin, even rounds using a knife or mandoline. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, fresh dill, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well blended.

Step 3

Trim the crusts off the slices of white sandwich bread using a sharp knife, creating neat edges.

Step 4

Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture evenly over each slice of bread.

Step 5

Cut each slice of bread into 4 squares or desired shapes (e.g., triangles or circles) using a knife or small cookie cutter for presentation.

Step 6

Place one or two cucumber slices on top of each prepared bread piece, lightly pressing them into the cream cheese spread.

Step 7

Sprinkle a small pinch of fresh dill over each assembled sandwich for garnish if desired.

Step 8

Serve immediately or cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving to keep them fresh.
