- Total Time: 15 minutes
- Yield: 2-4
Ingredients
- Thin white sandwich bread
- Thin sliced cucumbers
- Whipped or spreadable cream cheese
- Chives and dill
- Salt
Instructions
- Freeze the sandwich bread which makes trimming the crusts easier as well as spreading the cream cheese. The bread is so thin that it will thaw before you’re finished.
- Mix the cream cheese, chives, dill and a pinch of salt.
- Slice cucumbers very thin, place on paper towels to remove excess water.
- Spread a layer of cream cheese on one side of each slice of bread.
- Layer with sliced cucumbers, and top with another slice of bread. Cut in half or in quarterrs.
- Spread more of the cream cheese on one corner and dip in to the chives.
- Arrange on a tray and serve.
Notes
Cucumber sandwiches can be made about an hour ahead and refrigerated, but they get a little soggy if you make them too far ahead.
