Ingredients
- 1 large Cucumber
- 226 grams Cream cheese
- 2 tablespoons Fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 slices White sandwich bread
- 2 tablespoons Butter (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Wash and dry the cucumber. Use a mandoline or sharp knife to thinly slice the cucumber into uniform rounds. Set aside.
Step 2
In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, fresh dill, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well blended.
Step 3
Trim the crusts off the sandwich bread slices to create clean edges.
Step 4
If desired, lightly spread a thin layer of butter on one side of each bread slice to prevent them from becoming soggy.
Step 5
Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese mixture evenly over four slices of the bread.
Step 6
Layer the cucumber slices on top of the cream cheese mixture, slightly overlapping them to ensure full coverage.
Step 7
Top the cucumber layer with the remaining bread slices to create sandwiches.
Step 8
Using a sharp knife, cut each sandwich into quarters, either into squares or triangles, depending on preference.
Step 9
Serve immediately as fresh sandwiches are best enjoyed right after assembling.
