Ingredients:
- 1 English cucumber, thinly sliced
- 8 ounces (about 225g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (optional)
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- Sliced bread (white or whole wheat), crusts removed
- Fresh dill sprigs, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, mayonnaise, and chopped dill. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Mix until well combined and smooth.
- Lay out the slices of bread on a clean surface. Spread a thin layer of the cream cheese mixture onto each slice of bread.
- Arrange the thinly sliced cucumber evenly over half of the bread slices, covering the cream cheese mixture.
- Top each cucumber-covered bread slice with another slice of bread, cream cheese side down, to make sandwiches.
- Using a sharp knife, carefully cut each sandwich into smaller, bite-sized pieces. You can cut them into triangles, rectangles, or even use cookie cutters to create fun shapes.
- If desired, garnish each sandwich with a small sprig of fresh dill for an extra touch of elegance.
- Serve the little cucumber sandwiches immediately, or cover them with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- These cucumber sandwiches are light, refreshing, and full of flavor. They’re perfect for serving at any gathering or as a light snack any time of day. Enjoy!
