Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 8 oz block cream cheese, softened
- 3 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped chives
- 3 tablespoons finely chopped dill
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- ½ lemon juiced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 Large English or Persian cucumber thinly sliced
- 1 loaf sliced bread crusts removed
Instructions
- Using hand mixer, mix cream cheese and mayonnaise until smooth.
- Stir in chives, dill, lemon zest, lemon juice, salt, and pepper.
- Spread the cream cheese mixture onto one side of each slice of bread.
- Layer the cucumbers on top of the cream cheese mixture. Top with more chives, dill, and remaining bread slice.
- Carefully press down on the sandwich as you cut into 4 squares or 2 triangles.
- Top each sandwich with a thin slice of cucumber and dill. Serve immediately or cover and store in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
Notes
Optional step to remove excess moisture from the cucumbers: Sprinkle the cucumber slices with a little salt and let them rest for 20 minutes then pat dry.
Use a good sharp chef’s knife to cut the sandwiches. Wipe clean in between cuts so you get a nice even cut every time. A serrated knife will not work here.
You can prepare the cream cheese mixture up to 2 days in advance. Store in an airtight container in the fridge until you’re ready to make the sandwiches.
If you plan on making these in advance, I recommend that you spread the cream cheese mixture on both pieces of bread so that the cucumbers are in between the cream cheese and not directly touching the bread, which will make it soggy.
You can store these in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Let them sit out on the counter for 20 minutes before serving.
