Description

These delectable Cucumber Sandwiches are made with sliced cucumbers on soft white bread with a quick and easy cream cheese spread made with fresh herbs.  They are one of my all-time favorite sandwiches and a spring and summer must. Proceed with caution, though, as they are really hard to resist.


Ingredients

Scale

1 English cucumber, thinly sliced

8 slices soft white bread

4 ounces cream cheese, softened

1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped

Salt and pepper, to taste

Fresh chives, for garnish (optional)


Instructions

In a small bowl, combine softened cream cheese and chopped fresh dill. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Mix until well combined.

Lay out the slices of bread on a clean surface. Spread a generous layer of the cream cheese and dill mixture onto each slice.

Arrange thinly sliced cucumber rounds evenly over half of the bread slices.

Top the cucumber slices with the remaining bread slices to form sandwiches.

Using a sharp knife, carefully trim the crusts off each sandwich to create neat edges.

Cut each sandwich into quarters or halves, depending on your preference.

Garnish with fresh chives, if desired, before serving.

Notes

These Cucumber Sandwiches are a delightful addition to any gathering or afternoon snack. With their light and refreshing flavor, they’re sure to please even the most discerning palates. Whip up a batch for your next get-together and watch them disappear in no time!
