Ingredients
  

For the Creamy Spread
  • 8 oz Whipped Cream Cheese Substitute with cream cheese for a richer flavor.
  • 2 tbsp Sour Cream or Mayonnaise Greek yogurt can be a healthier alternative.
  • 1 tbsp Dill (finely chopped) Fresh dill is recommended for best flavor.
  • 1 tsp Kosher Salt Use less if substituting with table salt.
For the Sandwich
  • 1 large English Cucumber Regular cucumbers can be used but may have more seeds.
  • 8 slices Sandwich Bread Soft white bread is traditional; whole wheat or gluten-free can be used.

Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Butter Knife
  • mandolin
  • Serrated Knife
  • Cutting board

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine whipped cream cheese, sour cream or mayonnaise, and finely chopped dill. Mix until smooth and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. Add kosher salt.
  2. Lay out eight slices of sandwich bread on a cutting board and spread the herbed cream cheese mixture on one side of each slice.
  3. Rinse and slice the cucumber paper-thin using a mandolin or sharp knife. Layer cucumber slices over half of the prepared bread slices, slightly overlapping.
  4. Place the remaining bread slices, spread-side down, on top of the cucumber-covered slices and gently press down.
  5. Trim off the crusts using a serrated knife and cut the sandwiches into bite-sized pieces.
  6. Arrange the sandwiches on a platter and garnish with fresh dill sprigs or cucumber slices if desired.
