Ingredients
Scale
Cream Cheese Spread:
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Other:
- 1 English cucumber, thinly sliced
- 12 slices white or whole wheat sandwich bread, crusts removed
- Butter (optional, for spreading)
Instructions
- Prepare Cream Cheese Spread: In a medium bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, dill, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth and well combined.
- Prepare Cucumbers: Pat the cucumber slices dry with paper towels to prevent sogginess.
- Prepare Bread: If desired, lightly spread a thin layer of butter on each bread slice.
- Assemble Sandwiches: Spread the cream cheese mixture evenly on each slice of bread. Layer cucumber slices on half the bread slices, then top with the remaining slices to form sandwiches.
- Cut and Serve: Press down gently, then cut each sandwich into quarters or halves. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
Notes
- For added elegance, use a cookie cutter to shape sandwiches or garnish with extra dill.
- Best served fresh, but can be made a few hours ahead and kept chilled.
