Ingredients
- 1 medium Cucumber
- 120 grams Cream cheese
- 1 tablespoon Fresh dill
- 1 tablespoon Chives
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 8 slices Soft white bread
- 30 grams Unsalted butter
Directions
Step 1
Wash the cucumber thoroughly and cut it into thin, even slices. Use a mandoline slicer for the best results.
Step 2
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, fresh dill, chives, lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Mix until smooth and well combined.
Step 3
Trim the crusts off each slice of bread and discard or save for another use (such as making bread crumbs).
Step 4
Spread a thin layer of softened butter on one side of each slice of bread. This helps to prevent sogginess.
Step 5
Spread a generous layer of the herbed cream cheese mixture over the buttered side of 4 slices of bread.
Step 6
Arrange the cucumber slices evenly on top of the cream cheese layer. Overlap them slightly for full coverage.
Step 7
Top each cucumber layer with the remaining slices of bread, buttered side down, to form sandwiches.
Step 8
Use a sharp knife to cut each sandwich into 2 rectangles or 4 triangles, depending on your preference.
Step 9
Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate for up to 2 hours before serving for the best texture and freshness.
